Hi,

You must totally uninstall the version you had before you can reinstall as new again.  There are fragments of the previous version still in your system.

As a first step, download, install and run this tool:

Did you or did you not run revo uninstaller?

sathesh · Answer

i installed shockwave i can see in my controlpanel but still youtube is not working

Ambucias · Answer

Shockwave and Flash Player have not relation with YouTube.  YouTube is a totally different issue which you have not mentioned before and for which I need more details from you other than it's not working.

sathesh · Answer

hi the shockwave and flash player both r installed in my laptop as you said but i still have the same prob that iam not able to play any streaming videos like youtube ect you told me to update but not able to update now i have installed flash player 10  wich you gave me in my laptop but if i go to youtube its asking
{you need to upgrade your adobe flash player to watch this video} and if i manage add-ons in tools i could not find adobe flash player  plzz help

Ambucias · Answer

Are you experiencing this with all videos?

You Flash is uptodate, it must be something wrong with the video on You Tube

Send me the link and I will check it out

sathesh · Answer

the update wich you gave me not able to install  same eror {activex control for flash player could not be registered}

Ambucias · Answer

Hi, ok. 

1. make sure the date and time on your computer are correct


2. Download the Uninstaller and SAVE to your Desktop:

 

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

 

3. Download the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE to your Desktop:

 

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash _player_ax.exe

 

4. After you have done that, then disconnect from the Internet and don't re-connect until it is listed in the steps that follow.

5. Disable your Anti-Virus and Firewall, disable any apps in system tray as before, Close all browsers.

6. RUN the Uninstaller, then Reboot. Now when fully rebooted, Reboot again. This is needed to clear old files for IE. When fully rebooted, check and make sure the Anti-Virus/Firewall did not re-enable themselves on that last Reboot.(some do)

7. If AV/Firewall is disabled, then RUN the Installer. Then Reboot Once.

8. Re-enable your AV/Firewall and connect back to the Internet.

 

Go here to test:https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/

 

9. Then try a couple of websites. Then back to the Flash files and post what is Installed; and then see if the Shockwave Flash Object is now Installed.

 

Take your time, hope it goes well this time

i had followed all your steps and i found so many  flash fragments in various folders most of them in windows-system 32- but they can't be deleted. everytime i tried to permanently delete them, the dialog box reopened again and says that the files are currently in used or you need ask permission from the administrator.

the next step, i tried to use the revo unistaller to move the unwanted files or folders by dragging the revo unistaller small icon on the corner of the screen over the files, but then it says that the path of the files or the folder cannot be found.

Ottokhe...
can you help me please...
I can't install my flash player after the removal. and i aware that i still have the remain fragments in the system, but i don't have any idea how to find it. Until I read this page. Eventually i able to find them, but then I got stuck again..

Many thanks to you ^.^

Ambucias · Answer

@Ilma

Please explain what you mean by fragments?  Give me an example.

I strongly advise that you do not remove anything from system32, it may compromise your system's stability.

What is the difficulty in installing Flashplayer?  Do you have error messages?

Regards

ilma · Answer

@Ambucias

thanks for the advice :)
Already done the intallation and it's completed :)

I thought the installation was failed because I didn't see the icon on the desktop, but then when I opened a flash file, it's successfully run well.

Thank you so much
it was my bad, and sorry for the inconvenience :)


warmth regards
