I would use Adobe's Flash uninstaller here;

Then I would reboot the computer, (to make sure any registry entries are removed), then re-visit Adobe and try again.

Hello,
I'm having problems with flash player. I have downloaded the newest player, but flash videos don't work on any of my browers. It is installed but explorer and aol still ask me to download it. it was working only a few days ago and it was using flashplayer 9. Does anyone know what might be the problem? Thanks
