Trying to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player.

32bit IE on WinXP
Trying to do a fresh install of my Flash Player. I use the Adobe uninstaller on ver 10.2. Check the Adobe page and it shows that I have no Flash player installed. I then restart my computer and go to the Adobe page which shows the Flash player version and it says I have ver 10.1.102.64. I was under the assumption that the uninstaller would remove all versions of flash. Searches on Adobe's page always bring me back to the same uninstaller.
Any clues on how to make this go away? The end result is it is affecting my ability to use my PlayOn media server through my Roku device.
Thanks!

This is very weird; you only have the new Flash Player files in the install folder.
On IE, Tools, Add-ons, can you see Shockwave Flash Object, and what version does it show? Also, does it have a path to that object?
Use Windows Search to look for any old Flash files on your C: drive - look for flash*.ocx

Macbook pro. app tries to use flash player and get " Blocked plugin" how to uninstall and reinstall flash player. update does nothing ?

Wife has an older MacBook Pro. when an app uses flash player "Blocked plugin" comes up. I don't know much about mac, tried to update flash player and get newer version already installed, and update and still get same message. How do I uninstall flash player and reinstall?

Sounds like it is blocked for the website you are at. Check with this:
You can quickly test whether a recently added plug-in is causing problems by blocking it.
Choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, then click Website Settings next to Allow Plug-ins.
Select the plug-in you want to disable on the far left, then click each pop-up menu on the right and choose Block.For some plug-ins, you see pop-up menus for different websites, and you can choose to block each one individually. Use the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu to block all other websites that don’t have individual settings.

How to uninstall and reinstall FLASH player?

Using Intel Mac with Leopard:
I am having problems viewing Myspace pages, it feels the embedded music player doesn't work! or takes an extremely long time to load if it will play. From a search on other posts, I read the suggestion to install latest Flash Player 9. That didn't help so I wish to uninstall it and reinstall it there is not a file called flash player as outlined here:
Hard Drive > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Flash Player
HOWEVER - Under Hard Drive-Libary- Internet Plugins there is "flashplayer.plugin could i just move that to trash and reinstall?
Thanks

I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash player successfully, but it doesn't work

After being told that I didn't have flash player since the recent update, I have tried many times to successfully update. Even after I was able to successfully update, after restarting my computer I am still told that I do not have flash player installed. HELP!

Here's the trouble: "User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

My mouse wheel only brings the page closer up in Flash Player, doesn't make it smaller when using Firefox Browser. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player. What do I need to do ? It works fine with IE 8.

My internet is Internet Satelite 1.5 MB. speed. Everything else with the Flash Player seems to work fine except the wheel. But the mouse wheel works fine everywhere else.

So what Flash Player version do you have currently installed?

You need flash player version for your browser or desktop?

Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to recent version of iTunes. I get ERROR 7 (Windows 193) message. What do I do to correct when I try to run iTunes?

Wanted to update iTunes to newest version. After install got "Error 7 (Windows erroe 193)
I tried to uninstall and reinstall but still get the same message.
Please help!

Try the following user tip:

I click on the Mozilla icon and it will not load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that doesn't work either

I have tried to open Firefox, but it just sits there and doesn't load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that works for a few hours and then it goes back to not loading. I don't know what else to do to get it too load.

Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. 
*If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to Tools -> Add-ons then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. 
*If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
Please report back your progress.

Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

Me too - running iTunes 10.5.3 on Windows 7. Will allow me to sign in to iTunes, download app updates and then if I either close iTunes or try to sign out of my iTunes account it all freezes. So frustrating, because my understanding is that iTunes saves the library file when exiting. So, everytime I update apps I lose all the downloads.

I haven’t been in this situation, but can’t you just change your account settings and use a different e-mail or maybe add another secondary e-mail to use for verification?
