Question about uninstalling flash player

I've recently had a problem with flash player videos and ads stuttering. Anything that works off flash player always has constant stutters in it on all my browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome) ever since a power outtage that turned off my PC while I was online. It's been this way for 2 months now.
I'd like to uninstall flash player from my PC and do a clean install to see if that might fix the problem.
Will the uninstaller automatically remove flash player from all browsers? Will I have to run it with each browser open or does it automatically wipe if off my system?
The main reason why I ask this is because I have to update two of my browsers separately (IE and Firefox).

Yes, the uninstaller will install all installed Flash Player instances; download it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Use the 64-bit uninstaller if your Flash Player is installed in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Use the 32-bit uninstaller if Flash Player is only installed in C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash

Random question about the flash player

Hi, to make this question simple... I was wondering if the
flash player could somehow be hindered by windows vista?
I ask because I have a laptop running Vista, and a Linux box
right next to me, and I dual boot Ubuntu on my laptop. When I test
my application on the Linux boxes, they run exactly as I have
programmed them. The only machine where my application gets screwed
up is on the Vista OS. I started to think that maybe Vista screws
with the flash players ability to function, could that be possible
or even true? I mean, I think SilverLight is a competitor of the
Flash Player, so I guess that's where my conspiracy theory comes
from. Any thoughts or input? Yes there could be a bug in my code.
I'm iterating through the display list and applying "x" tweens to
them, moving them all to x = 5. some of the display objects don't
make it to coordinate 5, and so go beyond. I attached part of my
code that moves the thumbnails. you can view it here on the web:
kurtcom.com/actionscript3/PhotoProgram.swf

The camera is the object called camFrame in the FLA. It is
shaped like a rectangle. Simply copy the camFrame to any other FLA
and it will work. Note that it will base its measurements on the
Stage size in your new FLA. So the camFrame should be resized to
the Stage size (e.g. 550 x 400) to start with, and then resized
proportionally.
If you apply a tint to the camFrame, it will tint the entire
scene. Thus, you can do a neat fade-in by applying a black 100%
tint to the camFrame in frame 1, and then removing the tint in
frame 20 (for example) and applying a tween.

Answering my own Question about installing flash player on an Ipad

I need to access certain sites for my job whilst out on location. I realised my Ipad couldn't get Adobe Flash Player, so I looked around for options.
For anyone else who needs a fix, here's how I can access all the web pages I need:
Install - and pay for - Splashtop. Then set it up (easy) with any "always on" laptop or desktop.
You can then remotely access that desktop from site and see any web pages on your Ipad. You can access any files on the desktop and, even better, you can type in web addresses from the Ipad and view them live.
There is a small monthly fee for roaming, but it's bugger all really and well worth it for me!
Hope this helps some of you.

Apple also recommends SkyFire as a browser when you must view Flash content. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skyfire-web-browser-your-path/id384941497?mt=8

I have a question about Adobe Flash Player.

I am wondering why the iPhone doesn't support the Adobe Flash Player. I tried downloading it onto my phone but it's not available?

Flash takes too much processors cycles and there is no cooling system on iOS devices.
That's really what it comes down too.
It's not Adobe's fault, Flash was designed for PC's and increasing processor capabilities not for new tiny Atom like processors enclosed in airtight case devices.
Flash runs fine on larger machines no sweat.

I have a question about Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Beta for Mobile.

Hi everyone. I'm newbie at forum , if I opened this topic to the wrong place ; please , excuse me I'm an HTC HD2 user. And I noticed that ; Flash 10.1 support to the Android OS had come to HTC Google Nexus One , with "Froyo" update. I watched some videos at Youtube , about "Open Screen Project" (that Adobe leads) . And Adrian Ludwig(at Flash team) was using HTC HD2 and showing the Flash 10.1 at phone. I'm thinking that , if he used Flash at HTC HD2 , then there must be a release for phone too. I'm not sure , it's very important for me. Thank you , for your answers. Have a nice day.

Whoops, my bad. Didn't note that HD2 is WinMo.
As I understand it (and I am just a consumer, not official in any way) - the intention is to get 10.1 on every device possible, including the iPlatform if Apple ever decides to change their mind (HA!).
As for the status of WinMo currently, I am not sure about that. I know 10.1 is being tested on Blackberry, Palm, and Android for sure, but I don't know what Microsoft has been up to, considering they have their own competing tech at stake here too...
If I had to take a guess (and it would be a guess) I would say that the highest probability is 10.1 on WinMo7 devices, though I have no information to back that up, its just a guess.

Was it a mistake to uninstall Flash Player from Windows 8?

I have a Lenovo Y580 Laptop with IE10 windows 8. I was not able to view embedded videos on websites and searched the problem online. Somewhere I ran in to information about glitches with Flash Player and Windows 8. I found instructions on how to delete Flash Player files from Windows 8 using a combination of the steps on the websites below. Now I am able to view embedded videos but I don't understand exactly what I did/whether I will have issues in the future due to deleting Flash. Now when I type in the search box for Flash Player it shows a Flash Player 32 Bit Flash Settings Manager. Im confused as to what I deleted and what the cons to this may be as I am not super computer savvy

Hi,
Flash Player is integrated with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. It's unnecessary to install or uninstall Flash Player.
Since you have uninstalled, you may want to look at this document for reinstalling Flash Player: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html

I had my Macbook 15" retina from over a week now, Having an issue after uninstalling Flash player

Now after uninstalling flash player , i cant seem to view half of the videos with html5 ( h,264) and i get back a message saying that i should install flash player. I don't want to use flash player because it drains battery down swiftly. How can i delete all the flash player settings that is the reason behind why i cant play videos using h.264.
thanks in advance

Hello, and welcome to Apple Support!
You will need Flash to watch this video. you can download it HERE once you install it you will be able to view this video. There is no alternative to Flash that I am aware of.
One question: Could you view this video before you attempted to uninstall Flash?

How can I lodge a complaint about Adobe Flash Player?

How can I lodge a complaint about Adobe Flash Player? When I updated Adobe Flash Player this morning it also installed a McAfee scanning software without any warning or notification. I find this totally unacceptable. But I cannot find any information on the Adobe website that will allow me to lodge my complaint. Which I also find totally unacceptable.
Ho hum.

This is a an old complaint. I would have thoughtas much bad karma as Adobe has received would have stopped this practice espcially since it found that many time McAfeee either gets protection signatures wrong or cause more problems than it fixes.
I don't know whether mailto:[email protected] is still effective.
At one time a disgruntled Adobe products user created a FaceBook or twitter page. And many in past have claimed when there complaints got ignored or laughed at by Adobe. They suddenly got action whe airring their complaint on this FaceBook or Twitter page.
There should be a big warning Box stating:
Adobe is about to install a package Called McAfee on your computer. If you do not wish to instal click checkmark here.
Do you wish have Adobe install Products not requested on your computer yes__ or no__ please use a √
And to adhere to wishes of the customer.

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

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.

I have uninstalled Flash Player and when downloading version 11.6 I get error on script line

I have finally uninstalled Flash Player !

Hi
My OS : Widows 7 32bits + all updates
My IE version : 10 + all updates
My Flash Player version : 11.7.700.202
I have finally uninstalled Flash Player because it slows down browsing with IE10 too much.
Each time I install Flash Player : IE10 slows down
Each time I UNinstall Flash Player becomes ligtning fast
I cannot live with that !
I uninstalled Flash Player and I will not look back until there is an adequate solution to this problem.

This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Possible to uninstall Flash Player for specific browser with Uninstaller program?

Greetings,
I'm using a domain login script to deploy Flash Player across 400 or so PCs. Currently the script is set up to run the Flash Player Uninstaller executable prior to running the IE Flash Player Installer executable. The problem with this is that the Uninstaller seems to uninstall Flash Player versions regardless of browser type, whereas the installer is always for a particular browser.
Specifically, in our environment our supported browser is IE, but we allow users to run other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome (but they must apply security updates themselves). When we deploy a new login script to install the latest version of Flash Player, the typical user will be unaffected because they use only IE. However, users running Firefox will suddenly be unable to use flash after the Flash Player installer script is run.
So is it possible to use the Flash Player Uninstaller program to uninstall Flash Player for only a specific browser? Alternatively, will Flash Player uninstall cleanly (and the keyword is _cleanly_) if the installer is run without using the Uninstaller program?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

You may get a more official reply from Adobe here.
To the best of my knowledge your observation is correct: the uninstaller tool will always uninstall all installed versions (ActiveX 32-bit, ActiveX 64-bit, plugin 32-bit, plugin 64-bit).
From my experience, the uninstaller from Control Panel will uninstall cleanly - as long as no browser is running during the uninstall. With cleanly I mean that no files are left behind; I have no knowledge if there are registry entries left behind (with the uninstaller tool, or with the Control Panel uninstaller).
For your specific problem: why don't you always install both the ActiveX and plugin for all users? The plugin is just a single dll that is added to the install folder (two, respectively, on 64-bit systems).

Can't uninstall flash player

The operation times out and I get an error code saying it can't be deleted. The Flash player install pops up almost every 15 minutes. I can't install an older or newer version either. I have cleared all cache, attempted to run OnyX and was unsuccessful. I attempted to delete Flash from library and a block read that the file can't be deleted. I attempted clear Flash from plug ins and error code 100022 popped up saying that operation can't be completed because of an unexpected error.
HELP is desperately needed. The Flash Player version is 11.5.502.409. OS version is 10.7.5.

Try Flash Player uninstaller from Adobe site.
