I need help uninstalling the recent download I did of Adobe Flash Player.

I recently installed the newest update for Adobe Flash Player for my computer, but by doing so it no longer works for anything that I do.
I saw in the help that there is a way to uninstall the latest version and download an older version of it. Reading the instructions and then doing them is difficult for me, especially when it involves something as intense as this.
I was wondering if there was a way that I could get the instructions given to me verbally by a representative, say, over the phone. Because my biggest fear I'm having right now is that by doing it myself, I'm going to screw up royally and just make things even worse than they already are.
If this is possible in any way, shape, or form, that would be awesome and make me feel 1,000,000 times better. This has been an issue I've been having with my computer for a week and a half now, and I would REALLY like to rectify it and make it better.
Please, and thank you.

This is a user forum; we are not doing phone support.
However, we can give you step-by-step instructions here at the forum, and we can make it as detailed as you wish.
First we need to know
what is your operating system?
what is your browser?
what Flash Player version do you want to install?

After downloading, you need to install Flash Player. Double-click the downloaded file to install it.

I need an install for Mac OS X10.5.8 adobe flash player and can't find it as I uninstalled my original one

I uninstalled adobe flash player from my Mac Leopard OS X 10.5.8 and need to get a new version but it asks for the 10.6 before installing and apple won't accept it or the installation is not complete. Now I have no adobe and can't access any apps period without that and the plug-in. The directions are too confusing.

Okay, a few comments... first, that tech at Future Shop has his numbers wrong. As of January of this year, according to my testing, Norton is actually only 73% protection against currently-active Mac malware. That's pretty darn bad, especially when you factor in the fact that Norton is well-known for causing problems. You may think Norton hasn't caused you any problems, but if you've had it installed for 15 years, you'd probably be shocked at how your machine would perform without it. It's probably a large part of the reason that you keep seeing that rainbow wheel cursor.
If Norton's log shows no malware, that doesn't mean Norton caught it, it means Norton never saw any malware to begin with. Which, since it's not so good at spotting it, doesn't really mean much.
Mac malware is rare enough that you've probably never seen any. However, note that running an outdated version of Flash is one of the dangerous things that could change that. Insecure versions of Flash were known earlier this year to be exploited by Mac malware. All you'd have to do is visit the wrong website and you'd be infected.
For this reason, regardless of what you do about anti-virus software, I strongly advise that you not install one of those outdated versions of Flash. If your computer is able to run Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), you should upgrade to that system, then update it fully (Apple menu -> Software Update). Not only is there no known malware currently capable of infecting a fully up-to-date Snow Leopard system, but you'll also be able to run a more secure version of Flash.
You can purchase Snow Leopard here:

Recurrent requests to download latest ver. of Adobe Flash Player

I have Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I have downloaded what is called the latest version of Windows 7 64 bit ver. of ADFP (Ver. 11.9.900.170) and Adobe says this download minus the Chrome should be 16.4mb. When I download it and it is installed in control panel under the list of programs Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX is shown and the ver. is listed as:
11.9.900.170 but it shows the program to be only 6.00mb. Also on the left side where there should be a red icon for Adobe Flash Player the icon is NOT red but it is a rectangular box black out line and center white. I have gone to "Manage ad ons" and it is enabled there. Still I get daily requests from www.lumosity.com to "Download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and they will not let me go on with their program until I do so again. This time everything is the same except the icon on the left side of the program is red as it should be. I also get same requests from World of WarGames, they don't stop the game but at the end they suggest downloading the latest version. When I down load the Flash Player why is it not the 16.4mb they say it will be. Why only 6.00mb. What is disabling Adobe Flash Player. I'm using the 64bit version of internet explorer to download it but it seems I'm only getting the 32bit version of Adobe Flash Player. Could that be the problem? What would be a way to fix this? I'm using Internet Explorer 10 and I have both the 64bit and the 32bit versions on my desktop. Please offer some experienced help with this annoying, recurrent problem! Thanks. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but that was no help.

Sites want me to download newest version of Adobe Flash Player when I already have it

I am having difficulty when at a site that I want to watch a video on (most recently a work site) and I am told I need to update Adobe Flash Player. I double check andI Have the same version I am being insructed to download. I tried going to Security under System Prefences and under Apps allowing from anywhere in case that was the problem. Still, I cannot watch the video. Any ideas of the problem? I was just watching videos from this same work site without this coming up. I have also had it come up on other sites (less trusted than this site) and could not watch the video because of the same reason. Ihave AdobeFlashPlayer set to automatically update.

Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash.

PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLING DOWNLOADED FILES OF LATEST ADOBE FLASH PLAYER UPDATE

after downloading the files to update my adobe flash player, I get the "DOWNLOADS" window pop up as it usually does. So I go to "double-click" on it to install the latest update, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS!!!! No other window popping up to ask my permission or no other window asking me to "RUN". I tried uninstalling and installing again-8 times. Right now I have no idea what Im supposed to do, as everytime I've needed to download before its downloaded AND allowed me to double click in order to install new/latest updates. so I dont have a clue why not now. I have NOT changed any settings from last time either
im using windows vista

also tried that and didnt work

Some questions about the limit of memory usage of Adobe flash player in different OS & Web Browser

Hi Adobe experts,
I'm from HP, and now using Adobe flash player making some products about massive data displaying.
For my target, I need to show more than 200 K rows in client web browser, using AdvancedDataGrid.
And that may needs more than 200M to cache the data in Web browser memory space.
So, my questions are:
Does there any memory usage limit in flash player?
Say, if we have 4G bytes of physical memory in machine, in Windows, how much can I use in flash player?
Also, if we have 4G bytes of physical memory in Linux, how much can I use in flash player?
Does it depends on the Web Browser?
Say, is there any difference between different web browsers?
If the limit exists, can we control the limit?
Say, can we define some parameters in the tag in web page to expand the limitation?
Or, can we try to control this limitation by the Flash player management which exists in the Windows Control Panel?
Best Regards

1. Yes. The Toolkit for CreateJS is an extra downloadable extension for Flash CS6. It will publish html and js files that will provide the animation instead of the swf that you would normally publish. The success or failure of the resulting javascript version of your animation is the result of working within the constraints of the toolkit. You are pretty much constrained to using the timeline in Flash for your animations. If you work only in Actionscript, then the output will be very disappointing.
2. Edge outputs javascript, css, and html to give you an animation. The user interface allows you to design within the constraints of what Edge can do. You can preview and adjust and tweek your animation as you work. Edge is an html5 tool. It can create html5 animation. It is not a replacement for Flash. It is something that you can use instead of Flash to embed animation in html.
The problems and benefits of each are unique. Neither is a good substitute to learning javascript, css and html5. If you don't understand the code that is created from each of these tools, you can easily end up with huge, bloated, files that perform poorly. I'm very biased toward actually knowing what is going on. If I need to edit something, I want to be able to go into the code and make a change, not add an additional chunk of code to work around what was there. I don't use the timeline at all, and so nothing that I have will publish using CreateJS. Well, it will publish, but nothing happens because there is nothing on the timeline to translate.
You can download a trial of Flash CS6 and try the Toolkit for yourself. Edge is still in free preview, you can get a copy at http://labs.adobe.com and try it to see how it works.
Also, if you're not using the Greensock Animation Platform with Flash, have a look at that. It has recently been extended to provide Javascript analogues for most of the Libraries. http://www.greensock.com/
