Need help uninstalling Flash Player to do a clean install.

Hi,
I'm feeling pretty stupid now, since I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
I'm running Windows 7/ 64 bit. I've got Flash player version 11.1.102.63
I'm having Spotify problems, and Spotify support asked me to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player before reinstalling Spotify. But I can't seem to get the blessed thing to uninstall.
I'm following the directions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
I've killed everything killable on the toolbar. I've checked with Task Manager to see if any applications are running (none are). There are still processes running I've run the uninstaller in Administration mode and in user mode and in every mode I can think of, but when I restart after uninstalling, I've still got the Flash Player installed-- same version. I get no error messages when I run it, it just (apparently) doesn't work.)
Any ideas? Any stupid mistakes I might be making?
Thanks!
Cheryl

Windows
Download the current 64 bit uninstaller
Uninstaller for 64 bit Operating Systems
Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
Restart Windows
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Windows Explorer window)
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ if you are using a 64 bit system, has been deleted.
Verify that Flash Player is uninstalled: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

Still need help with flash player download

I'm still having a problem with the flash player, please read my last post below:
"I've tried everything here & still can't download the flash player. Anytime I try to download it asks me to install ADM add-on and then when I click on that, my computer freezes. How do I enable this add-on without my computer freezing? Can anyone help pls?"

Thanks a lot for your help, it is truly appreciated.

Need help with flash player update

I previously updated to adobe reader X. Later I got a popup saying that an updated version of adobe flash player was available, which I downloaded. I am running windows 7 home premium (64 bit). After updating the flash player I keep getting a pop up that says there was an error in the down load and that I need the 64 bit version. Today I up dated to Adobe reader X version 10.1.3. What do I need to do to make the flash player correct? Adobe reader and PDF files are all working fine.

You need to post in one of the sub-forums (Installing, Using), but I will move this post over.
Try downloading the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

I'm being told I need to download Flash player even though I have installed the latest version

I'm using a Mac with Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5, with Safari 6.0.2 as my browser. I haven't had any problems with Flash player until today. Now suddenly, when I try to view Flash content, it tells me I need to download/install the latest version of Flash Player. However, I have installed it multiple times. I even uninstalled it and re-installed it, re-started my computer, etc, and it still won't work. What else can I try??

Does this happen with all Flash content? Do you see the animation and version info when you go to this page?
Flash Player Version
If not, please go into Safari's preferences dialog, the security tab, and verify that Enable Plug-Ins is checked.
Thanks,
Chris

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

Need help with flash player 9 on vista

The player is out (they are up to version 9.0.16). Flash
itself (the development tool) is in alpha and pretty buggy.

I need help with Flash Player, "movie not loaded".

Sometimes movie loads, sometimes not. Sometimes loads upon refresh, somtimes not. I cannot figure out how to get Flash to load reliably. This happens frequently while surfing the internet with IE10 on Windows 7 64bit sp. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Firewall. I prefer to set pop-up blocking on high but have lowered it to medium to no avail. I have uninstalled Flash using the step by step instructions on Adobe site and reinstalled version 12.0.0.77 twice. I have unstalled and reinstalled IE 10. Clearing the catch does not help. Clicking in and out of compatability setting also does not get flash to load. I have run out of ideas. Is there some setting I am missing. Flash is on so many sites and its so unreliable it is frustrating.

Sorry, I thought I had mentioned everything. Active x filtering is off and Shockwave flash object is enabled. I have cleared the IE catch and the Flash Player catch.
I should also point out that it is not that some videos play and others do not, The same video will work sometimes and sometimes not. I go back to check and sometimes the video loads and then it doesn't again. I wondered if it had to do with different advertisers before the link played or something like that. Something is randomly happening it seems.

Need help with flash player / slider bar navigation

Hello, I am having a flash player developed right now for a
intensive video site.
I have a few questions since I'm new to flash.
I would like the users to be able to jump forward in the
video at any point. However, the player my developer gave me cannot
do this. He is telling me that I will need FMS (Flash Media Server)
software on my server in order to do this.
Is this correct? Can we get this option without FMS?
Also, is this a big change in scope to add this in. Our flash
player is already done but does not have this very important
feature.
Thanks in advance.

There are two methods to having this work.
1. Use the FMS as your developer already stated.
2. Keyframe the heck out of the FLV. This works because the
typical player skin allows you to skip around to a keyframe. The
more keyframes you have, the more places you can skip around to.
The downside is that each keyframe you add to the video adds file
size. You may also need to set the totalTime parameter of the video
on load.
:: EDIT ::
You ask about implementation and scope changes in your
question. The first is a very big scope change, and very costly to
implement. The second, if the player that was developed uses the
standard classes for the player scrub bar, would likely only
require a re-encode of every video.

Need help with Flash Player

I have been having problems with this for months and still no help. PLEASE HELP.
I am using Windows Vista and firefox is my Browser. When I go to download it instead of Run File it only gives me a option to Save or Cancel File. When I load flash objects, it gives me a greyed out box that says Movie Not Loaded and Adobe Flash Player. If you have had any help with this please don't hesitate to help. I am trying all suggestions until I get this fixed.
Thanks in Advance

I am having the exact same issue! I have tried everything,
including the link
http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_msi,
I still get the message that I must download flash. The weird thing
is, one of the 5 user accounts (all computer administrators)
on our family pc has no problem with flash working, but the
other 4 do not work. I have tried adjusting the security settings,
but nothing has worked. Did anything end up working out for
you?

Uninstall Flash player.

Hi guys,
I need to uninstall flash player from windows vista machines. (current number is unknown yet but probably something like 40-50 computers).
I'm using System center configuration manager 2007 R2, and i've searched google for how to use silent uninstall to remove the old flash player, but i couldn't find a command line switch which will be helpful to me.
One thing i have to mention, i downloaded the .exe file that uninstalls flash from the computers, but i don't know the command switches to make it run in the background and no user can stop the flash removal.
If there's a command line switch that can help me remove old flash players (version 8 and 9), i'll be happy to use it.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Nahum

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??
Regards.
