How do I uninstall my existing version of Adobe Flash Player prior to installing the latest version 10.3.181.34 ?

You can uninstall in case of XP go to control panel click on add remove programs, in case of Win 7 go to control panel click Programs and Features. If uninstall fails then just download new player it will remove the older automatically.

I hope this will helps.

Hello, Try this: Start > Control Panel > Add & Remove Programs. In that list you should see Adobe flash player. double click it to Uninstall it. Reboot your computer. Go to:http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and download the program again and install it after you have downloaded it. That should solve your problem.
Good Luck, Nate

I have no idea to insall my adobe to watch shot videos like bob marley live concert

Adobe Flash Player

What they do not tell you (Adobe), is that when you go to install the latest version of Flash Player, it Does Not automatically delete the older version.

The new version will not install if an older version is present.

Download, Install, and use the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall Tool.
(From Adobe.com)

Restart your computer.

Then go back to the Adobe Flash Player download page, download and install the latest version.
Restart your computer once more.

(No, going into Add/Remove Programs doesn't net you anything)


This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall Tool download page,

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Yep. Same as the latest version page.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Under the heading > Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller Tech Note

Takes you to this page,

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

Go down to Number 1.
Left-click on the blue > uninstall_flash_player.exe, and click right on it.

A small window will come up > Opening uninstall_flash_player.exe
Click on Save File

Another small window will come up.
Very quickly look at the heading at the Top of the window.
This is where the file will download to.
Write it down.

In the heading at the top it may have;
1) Desktop
or
2) My Documents {Documents for Vista}
or
3) Downloads

If there is Desktop in the heading the file will download to your desktop screen

My Documents? Click on Start > My Documents

Downloads? Click on Start > My Documents > Double-click on > Downloads

When you see the file name > uninstall_flash_player.exe, Double-click on it.

Follow the easy instructions.

After it has installed run the Uninstaller.
Once the Uninstaller has finished, restart your computer.

Now go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, and download the latest version.
At the top right of the page click on the white > f in the Red square.

After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player has installed, restart your computer.
