Flash Download problems

I have uninstalled using the uninstaller and reinstalled many times, and it finally worked for me. I had the same problem & it drove me mad!

Did it just work suddenly one time you tried it or did you have to tweak anything to get it to load properly? Have used that uninstaller in your link several times already, followed all the steps to the letter and it's still not working - yet! Maybe I'll just have to sit here and keep trying :mad: - I'm glad it's not just me though :rolleyes:

Rosy, I really had the same problem and it was driving me totally mad. I just kept doing re-doing the uninstaller over weeks, and now it works as it should. I did change the settings many times in tools/internet options/ security/custom level, but I am pretty sure it was the uninstall/reinstall that eventually sorted it. I can't remember if I tried anything else but will have a quick surf and see if anything comes to mind.

I also use registry mechanic & clean up reguarly, don't know if that helps after the uninstall. Will get a screen shot of my settings for you.

Is it still not working Rosy? Do you have registry mechanic?

This is a possible solution: (close all progs and anything pos using flash)

The brute force uninstall.

Open a DOS / CMD Window

1) Type cd ’windows’systems32’macromed’flash
2) Then type flashutil9b.exe -uninstallUnlock
3) Finally type flashutil9b.exe -uninstallSafeVersions

*** If you see a dialog for step 2 or 3, select "Don’t Install" and try the step again. You probably had a typo.

*** If you see an error "flashutil9b is not recognized …", install Flash as described below.

4) del flash9b.ocx
5) del flashutil9b.exe

*** If you see an "Access is Denied" error, it means Flash is in use and you must close all apps besides the DOS command window.

Once you have completed the uninstall and have rebooted your PC,(like we said, if in doubt, reboot again!) reinstall Flash.
