Can't uninstall Flash Player 9.0.45.0

I use Opera as my default browser and have problems due to Flash Player 9, where I get debug errors, etc for several sites that are not Flash based but apparently have Flash elements on them. I've tried all of the steps listed on Adobe's site (run the uninstaller, delete files in several folders, etc, then reboot), but when I go back to the help page to check my Flash player's status, I  see that Flash player 9.0.45.0 is still running! I've even gone into the Registry to try to remove the Safe Versions folder as suggested in another support thread, but there is no Safe Versions folder in my Registry. This problem locks up my browser and is extremely frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I found 6 instances of NPSWF. Should I delete all of them?

I wouldn't recommend that; can you tell me where these are located, and the full file names?

I will, over the next days, install Opera on my Windows 7 machine, then see how Opera works.


Hi Pat,

I am having very similar problem as Bruce for my Opera that Flash Player ver.9 cannot be uninstalled for allowing the newest flash player ver. 11 install and replace the older version. I have followed all the steps in Adobe help by downloaded the uninstall program to uninstall the Flash Player and even using TuneUp Utilities 2012 program to remove all Opera related registries after uninstalled Opera. Hoping that it will have a clean start to install latest version Opera Ver. 12.01. After installed the clean copy of Opera, then installed the Flash Player 11, a message indicated that it is successfully installed. Went back to Adobe and check for flash player version installed in Opera, still showing ver. 9.0.45.0.

OS: Win 7 (32 bits)

Also found NPSWF in C:\Program Files\Opera\program\plugins

When using facebook in Opera, the following error messages kept popping up:

VerifyError: Error#1033: Cpool entry 38 is wrong type & ReferenceError #1065 Variable SoundPlayer is not defined.

When logging on to gmail, the following errors popped up and then hanged Opera. Forced closing is required:

Error: Error#2099: The loading object is not sufficiently loaded to provide this information at flash. display::LoaderInfo/get loader[] at com.google.uploader..FailUploader$init[]

Error#2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent: text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.

Hoping the photos and above information can help you to tickle the problem in Opera.

Look forward to your good news!!

Where do you have that Flash Player version installed?  I do not know Opera, but the browser should be able to tell you where it is.

I looked in Preferences, etc, but couldn't find it. Now it's even worse. I can't even install the new Flash player. Sure, it says it is installed, but when I go to a page with Flash on it (like a Flash video player), I get an error that Flash isn't installed.

You need to tell us a little bit more...

What is your operating system & version?

Can you search your hard disk for NPSWF* ?

What is the exact error message when you try to install a newer FP version?

In Opera, can you find other installed plugins, but not FP?
