Uninstalling Adobe Media Player

I just loaded Adobe Media Player, believing it was an update or enhanced video flash player for web browsers for sites such as Youtube. Anyway, it appears to be just a collection of shows - more distractions and advertising - who needs that? Anyway, the program behaves very badly in that it loads itself on system start-up without authority. And then, there is no apparent way to uninstall it. Shame on you!! How do I get this piece of Adobe sh*t off of my computer?

  • Adobe Media Player Corrupted? Won't uninstall or update.

    Windows XP, Adobe Media Player 1.1. I try to uninstall through the control panel and get a dialog box with unreadable characters, then an error message pops up. After clicking OK the uninstaller backs out and closes.(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5913/adb1.jpg).
    I try to replace and uninstall through Adobe Media Player website (http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/). Both Replace and Uninstall fail and results in an error (http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/2964/adb2.jpg).
    Uninstall and Replace result in: "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed. Try installing it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author." (http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1862/adb3.jpg)

    I have the exact same issue - but the funny thing is that it is only on my iMac - my MacBook Pro is fine and they both have 10.7.2 and the same latest Flash Player, so I think it might be a hardware problem to be honest.
    Ever since upgrading to Lion my iMac has been that way - my MacBook Pro had the problem with the first update from Adobe but after the second update of the Flash Player everything is fine on the MacBook Pro.
    How old is you MacBook Pro?

  • Cannot uninstall Adobe Air & Adobe Media Player won't work...

    When I try to uninstall Adobe Air (version 1.0), I get an
    error which tells me to contact my Administrator... well, I am the
    Admin and there is no other user on this computer (Windows XP).
    Does anyone have any idea as to how I can effectively and
    completely uninstall this application? Also, my version of Adobe
    media Player does not work as it is apparently not compatible with
    the current version of Air... Can anyone help, please?

    Please try enabling installer logging to get a better idea of
    why the uninstall is failing. If you can post that log, I should be
    able to help further. See

  • ...insidious ADOBE Media Player !

    Tell me I dont need the insidious ADOBE Media Player on my NLE system...before I uninstall it. (Hopefully I actually can un-install it without breaking anything?)
    Only reason I can imagine keeping it is to play Flash Files - but surely I can get a standalone player for that.

    Craig,
    There are a couple of options for local FLV playback. (As an aside, I think AMP is a very good FLV/F4V player, but agree that it's not the best thing to have on a professional workstation).
    One option is
    Media Player Classic. It will play back FLVs, as well as a lot of other formats. The best part about it is that you don't actually "install" it--it simply is an executable with all the decoding libraries built in. It's lightweight, fast, and very customizable.
    Another option is the
    FLV Player that KL linked to above. This used to be my go-to FLV playback app, but I've had issues with it playing back "stuttered"... videos seem to drop a lot of frames, no matter what computer I'm playing back on. This doesn't happen in other FLV players. It could just be my configuration or something, though.
    My new, current favorite player is the
    JW Desktop Player. It's from the same guy/group that releases the JW FLV Player for online playback; this is a lightweight AIR app that lets you play back FLV, MP4, as well as the "new" F4V container format on the desktop.
    All of them are free, and all load and playback MUCH quicker than AMP, without the TV watching component of the player.

  • Adobe Media Player disappeared

  • Adobe Media Player failure solved

    Hi. I got this problem a few days ago. And today I´ve discovered why was the problem being caused. I had installed DivX on my laptop and that was causing a trouble betwenn Adobe Media Player and DivX Reproductor Video. That was a kind of conflict between. I hope this can help some of you. May be another aplication that you have installed recently it's causing this problem on your laptops and PC's. Just uninstalled that aplications and that's solved.

  • I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0

    I need to uninstall Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0 but have looked everywhere for how to do this & can not find out how to do this can someone please help? I am using A Sony Vaio, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I use Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
    I want to get it off of my system because ever since I installed it I have had problems with Chrome loading it does not want to load then if I restart my comptuter & I click on chrome  5 windows open up at one time a white box appears saying "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer browser version of google chrome. Some features may be available. Please specify a different profile directory  or use a different version of chrome" then if you click ok it shuts all the windows down. I have figured a way to get one window to stay open so I can use chrome, now I do have other browser I can use but I do not like them  at all & do not have a flash player since mine is built in with Chrome. So on to the other problem that began as soon as I downloaded this & I understand it may not be this but I still want to get it off of my computer. I also have been having trouble with my flash player error messages: saying it has stopped working constantly, it says upgrade flash text, a plug in shock wave flash isn't responding then in (stop plug in) it wants you to hit.  I have run 3 different Mallware programs through my computer just in case that was one question that was going to be ask. No other programs jave been downloaded wither.
    I am not very good with computers so I have to come to places like this for help & I really have to have help explaining what to do because  do not know much about computers other then getting on them & surfing the web & some basic things. When chromes message said specify a different profile directory that went right over m head. So that should give you an idea where I am coming from. I want to thank you in advance & hope I have made sense in what I have written I tried to give all the information that I could.

    Your screenshot of task manager clarifies things.
    When I replied, I had been looking at the screenshot of the desktop from the original poster, which shows the uninstaller executable and it's properties.  That executable doesn't install anything -- it can just be dragged to the trash; however, that didn't completely align with the behaviors either of you were describing, and we've been trying to figure out what you were talking about.  It wasn't making a lot of sense to me, and it's not a question that I've seen come up before, at least not articulated this way.
    FlashUtil32_XX_XX_XX_XX.exe is the sandbox broker for Internet Explorer.  You can read more about the sandbox work here: Flash Player Security with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10
    The description listed in Task Manager is a bug, and the source of the confusion.  We've been doing a lot of work modernizing our build systems, and this is fallout from that work. This is something I'd like to see cleaned up, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities.
    The broker service is invoked when Internet Explorer is running in Protected Mode.  On my Windows 7 machine running IE 10, running Flash content in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode enabled causes the broker service to be invoked (this is probably true for previous versions as well, but I didn't test them).  If I disable Protected Mode and restart Internet Explorer, the broker is not invoked, which is expected.
    To disable Protected Mode, launch Internet Explorer and choose security.  Uncheck Enable Protected Mode.  Internet Explorer will restart, and you should be able to verify that the broker is no longer invoked when loading content with Flash Player.
    I've included a screenshot showing the expected processes in both scenarios below.  As the Flash Player ActiveX control is loaded into an Internet Explorer process, you'll see the child explorer.exe process listed, which hosts the Flash ActiveX control in the process list.
    Sandboxing the Flash Player plug-in is an important security mitigation intended to increase the cost of successfully developing and deploying malware.  While it's not a panacea, it significantly raises the bar for attackers.  As I'm sure you've read in the news and trade literature, the threat landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and modern security threats and their mitigations are a necessary reality.  New mitigations typically come with some additional processing overhead.  The overhead varies based on the architectural choices made by the particular browser vendors, but the overhead in IE is pretty reasonable.
    We haven't published a blog post specific to IE, but if you're interested in the implementation details, the sandbox architecture is similar to what we did with Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows.  The Flash Player process that handles untrusted content runs at Low Integrity, which restricts access to critical system resources in the event that you encounter malware designed to take control of the Flash Player process.  Access to system resources is negotiated through a Medium Integrity broker process.  Without Protected Mode, the Flash Player process handling untrusted content runs at Medium Integrity, making it easier for malware to escalate privileges from a hijacked process.  Depending on the functionality in play, a lot of message-passing can take place between IE, the broker and Flash Player.  We've effectively doubled the number of messages that get passed, plus put a bunch of validation checks in, and all of that consumes CPU.  It also makes your web browsing activity more secure.
    Some desktop applications (Yahoo Messenger, for example) also use the ActiveX version of Flash Player installed on your machine.  This could explain why you see Flash Player and the broker invoked unexpectedly.  We're also aware of an issue on Vista where the broker doesn't always exit as expected.  In that instance (and on WinXP), I'd highly recommend that people use Google Chrome for web browsing, as Google has extended some security mitigations that would only be available to Internet Explorer users running in newer versions of Windows, and it doesn't suffer from this specific issue with the broker.

  • Can no longer view video files in Adobe Media Player!!

  • How do I uninstall Windows Media Player 11 (from Windows XP)

    I tried to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 using the 2 methods in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934372/en-us
    The 1st method rolled back Windows Media Player 11 , but I want to uninstall it.
    The 2nd method gave me the following pop-window:
    Run
    C:\WINDOWS\$ntUninstallwmp11$\spuninst refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network,
    and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.
    I am surprised that Microsoft supplies a product that one cannot uninstall.
    I would very much like to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 -
    If that is not possible, I could re-install it.
    Thanks for any helo.
    OK

  • How can I uninstall adobe media encoder cc at macbook (Mavericks)?

    How do I uninstall adobe media encoder cc on macbook (Mavericks)? I have installed two versions (AME AME CC and CC 2014), AME CC 2014 has unistall file, but the application AME CC has unistall file or i can not find it. The situation is similar in the application ADOBE EDGE CODE CC and ADOBE EDGE CC Reflow CC.

    Because I have installed two versions, CC and CC (2014) I have a small ssd drive, I want to uninstall unnecessary applications and replace them with new ones from the 2014 edition. I have a problem with applications: Media encoder CC, EDGE CODE CC, Rreflow CC, Lightroom 5, these applications just do not have the files "uninstall". CC Photoshop, Illustrator CC,  InDesign CC, Media Encoder CC (2014) - with these applications I do not have a problem, I can uninstall these applications because have files "uninstall".

  • Re: Windows message on Adobe Media Player.Ink

    Please forgive if this is the wrong Forum but I am having a difficulty accessing a correct one!!
    Although using Adobe Reader, etc I am getting a popup window stating "The drive or Network connection that the shortcut 'Adobe Media Player.Ink ' refers to is unavailable.Make sure the disk is properly inserted or the network server is available.'
    I have no such disk.No shortcut and I cannot delete the message on screen.
    What is the solution ?
    Also, I searched my files. There are 100+ ADOBE file/folders including some referring to foreign countries (Korea,etc.) Do i need to keep these in my Folder record ?
    I would appreciate your help. Ed Culley

    IMHO, Adobe Media Player is one app that nobody in adobe responds to and at the moment is pretty useless. Whenever I install my adobe apps, I just uncheck Adobe Media Player. It's as useful and a mosquito.

  • How can I change the port for Adobe Media Player?

    After instaling Adobe Media Player I lost my IIS. AMP has hijacked my port 80. Now how could I alter configuration so that AMP will use a different port.
    I have many programs configured for Port 80 and I dont want to go and change all of the hardcoded ports in Javascript and CSS files.

    http://hodentek.blogspot.com/2009/04/adobe-media-player-and-iis-part-2.html

    These tools you are talking about, did you configure the tnsnames for them?
    If you plan to change the default listening port, you need to modify the listener.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
    After 9i, Oracle has service registration
    A feature by which the PMON process automatically registers information with a listener. Because this information is registered with the listener, the listener.ora file does not need to be configured with this static information.
    You can try to run one listener, see if both instances can register themselves in even they are different versions.
