How do I uninstall Flash Player?

If you encounter problems installing Flash Player, the first thing we usually recommend is uninstalling previous versions.  While on Windows, Flash Player has an entry in the Add/Remove Program control panel, the most sure fire way is to use our stand alone uninstaller.  You can get directions on how to use these here:

  • How Do I Uninstall Flash Player v. 9.0.124.0?

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.
    Secunia PSI shows that I have two versions of Flash Player installed:  11.6.602.171 (NAPI) and 9.0.124.0 (ActiveX).
    I have been trying to delete v. 9.0.124.0 because it is an old, unsecure version but have not been successful.  I used the Uninstall Flash Player utility available at:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    and made sure to follow all the instructions shown in paragraph No. 3 of that link.  Then I re-installed v. 11.6.602.171.
    As soon as I re-start my laptop, Secunia PSI shows that v. 9.0.124.0 is back.  (It is a file called Flash9t.ocx located in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash.  I have also tried to manually delete this file several times but it is re-created the next time I boot up!).
    So... how do I get rid of v. 9.0.124.0?

    I finally figured out how to solve the problem.
    * I deleted the file (Flash9t.ocx located in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash)
    * I performed a clean boot using these instructions:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 and discovered that the program that causes Flash Player 9 ActiveX to be re-created every time that I boot up is
       called ASUS Screen Saver Protector (AsScrPro.exe, v. 1.0.0.9), located in c:\Windows\.  Carefully follow the instructions in "How to determine what is causing the problem by clean boot".
    * I downloaded Autoruns (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx) and with that I unchecked the entry "ASUS Screen Saver Protector AsScrPro ASUS c:\windows\asscrpro.exe"
       so that it does not automatically load during startup anymore.
    * I ran Secunia PSI and it confirmed that Flash Player 9 ActiveX is gone!

    how do i uninstall flashplayer and get lightspaerk to take its place?

    From your list of plugins, it sounded as if LightSpark is already installed. Now we just need to disable the old version of Flash plugin so it doesn’t conflict with that.
    What Linux distro are you using? Depending on that, the uninstallation process differs. Try one of the steps outlined on this website: http://www.ehow.com/how_6827457_uninstall-flash-player-linux.html

  • How do I uninstall Flash Player 10 so that I can upgrade to flash player 10 version 10.0.32.18?

    Do I just use the "add/remove" function in Windows Programs? Or do I use   uninstall_flash_player.exe ? Or do I go to
    C:|Windows|System32\Macromed\Flash and then click the uninstall_activex icon?

    All three methods shoudl work, but uninstall_flash_player.exe is best, as it also removes remains of previous FP installs.

  • How do I reinstall Flash Player after accidentally uninstalling it in Windows *?

    Accidentally uninstalled Flash Player in Windows 8.
    The Adobe site still sees it as on my system.
    I tried the update in Internet Explorer and went through the steps on the Adobe site to no avail.
    How can I reinstall flash player in Windows 8?
    HELP!  And thanks.

    Thanks, Mike.  I saved the info you sent in case I need it later.  I did in the meantime find a backdoor and got the plug-in version of Flash Player installed after using Chrome as the browser instead of IE and Flash Player seems to be working fine in either browser.

  • How to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    how to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • How can I get Flash Player and install it?

    I29/Aug/2010 17:37
    TO: Adobe Forum
    I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
    When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
    How can I get Flash Player and install it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Barry Karas

    First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
    The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
    Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
    Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
    Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

    Hi,
    Google Chrome pre-installs the Flash Player in their browser.  That is why it is showing as installed in the screen-shot you posted.  Firefox does not pre-install Flash Player.  You didn't specify how you uninstalled Flash Player.  Did you use the Flash Player entry in the Control Panel or the uninstaller?  The uninstaller will uninstall all versions of Flash Player on the system, except for the version pre-installed with Google Chrome, however, you can disable that by navigating to chrome://plugins.  You may need to click on the '+' sign next to 'details' in the upper right to view all installed plugins.

  • How to change primary flash player

    I have Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r65  and Adobe flash.
    When I tried to access my new WD hard drive  -  I constantly have problems with it aborting as it is called up  Aborting because SWF has a problem.    I believe I have this from my Macromedia Software.
    It is not just this product -  seems to happen quite a bit
    How can I fix it or  make my system accept Adobe flash as the default
    I am on Windows XP Sp3.
    Web browser -  Google Chrome
    I believe Adobe Flash on Google Chrome -  Rev: 111.8.800.94

    You should definitely uninstall Flash Player 6, as it is 11 years old!  Use http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html if it doesn't have an uninstaller in Control Panel.
