I need help getting rid of Adobe Flash Player

First - cor-el, thanks for your suggestion (reply form won't let me enter a reply).
Now, my problem: I use very slow dial-up. I cannot have a Flash Player on my computer or nothing else opens. When I downloaded Adobe Reader 8, somehow Adobe Flash Player 10 downloaded with it. It is messing up my Internet use. When I tried to remove it in Add or Remove Programs, and with Adobe's downloadable remover, a notice opens saying it will remove the Flash Player when Windows Messenger is closed. But Windows Messenger isn't open. I never use it. Adobe states “Due to recent enhancements to the Adobe Flash Player installers, you can now remove the player only by using the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller.” Surely there must be a way to find the components and delete each one. Can anyone tell me how to do that? Or maybe suggest something else besides reinstalling the operating system again (I did it two weeks ago -- took all day with help from Dell techs on the phone) and living without Adobe Reader?
== Operating system ==
WinXP

First, a quick workaround.
In Firefox,
Tools> Addons
Plugin Tab
Locate Flash Player on the list and press disable.
Restart Firefox.
That should at least prevent it from running in Firefox and slowing down browsing. I think.

  • Can't get rid of adobe flash player message

    A gray translucent message has appeared over my email. It states "you are trying to install an adobe flash player on an unsupported system." There is no way to delete this message. It covers the reply and new options on my email account and I can't use them. I have an imac. HELP!

  • I keep getting the message "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working"

    I keep getting the message "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working"   I have no idea how to fix it and can't find anything online that has worked.

    Ok, lets start. The first option you gave me. Didn't work. I went into safe mode like it said (RealPlayer is not on this computer). The problem still presisted. I then made a new profile, and still the same responces. Tried default one more, no avail.
    I then prceeded to the step for the mms.cfg file.  Unfortunately, I cannot access that file. It's not readable on the computer. (Such problems with every turn I take )
    So, I then proceeded to the second option of the hardware acceleration. Talk about falling flat on my face. It wouldn't even pull up my type of flash for me to even access the settings. It gave me the little sad face stating "Adobe Flash has crashed".
    I have provided screen shots of what I get when I get the Adobe crashes.
    This is the first popup window I get whenever I start to have issues with Flash.
    This is showing what I got for the type of flash. except, first time it showed, there was the sad "Flash Crashed" face image. Notice the notification in the right bottom on the screen. That pops up everytime Flash forces close.
    This is the sad "Flash crashed" face I am talking about. And yes, I submit reports everytime I get the chance to.
    I don't know if this would help. But this popup happens occasionally with the Flash popup.
    Just an FYI; that first Flask Popup even occured everytime I went to attach an image.  Hopefully this will help figure out what's going on. Please let me know if you need more info.

  • Where can I get the lastest Adobe Flash Player (version 10) for my Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5?

    Can someone tell me how to get the lastest Adobe Flash Player (version 10) for an Apple PowerPC G5 computer with OS 10.5.8?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    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 first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Using Google Chrome for Browsing, keep getting notice that Adobe Flash Player 10 is not responding ?

    Have been using Google Chrome with Windows XP Media addition, Hp Athalon. 3 gbs ram, rogers internet protection.  When browsing keep getting warning that Adobe Flash Player 10 is running slow and offered to shut it off so as not to cause further problems with computer.  Have looked for Flash Player 10 download on Adobe Site for Google Chrome, none available.  Did not initially download Flash Player 10 myself, just showed up.  Suggestions please.

    Hi, I understand. I think they were an older person not so familiar with computers and I was doing my best trying to get them to start their own thread. They have done that, so you shouldn't have any more posts to yours.
    Thanks,

  • HT2128 I keep on getting updates for Adobe Flash Player.app, are these safe to download?

    I keep on getting messages to download updates for Adobe Flash Player.app however, I always get a warning message since it is an application downloaded from the internet and the question "Are you sure you want to open it?" Are these safe to download, or shall I cancel it? Perhaps it is best to go to the Adobe site? Any recommendations? Thank you very much.

    It can be easier to remove Adobe Flash Player from OS X entirely, and be done with the effort involved.  Adobe has a tool to remove Flash Player from OS X available.  (If you really need Flash capabilities, there's a version embedded in the Chrome web browser that might suffice.)
    As for your question, if you have gone directly to the Adobe web site (by entering the URL in Safair, and not by clicking on anyting in email or on another web site), and have downloaded Adobe Flash Player updates from there, then you're reasonably safe.
    If you've downloaded the Adobe update bits from the Adobe site (and again, not from any other site), then clicking through the "yes, I know I downloaded this" is probably safe.
