C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

After using the uninstaller and rebooting I was able to delete every file BESIDES this update service

Since I WOKE UP Ive been reading guides, mostly the same unhelpful ones.

I stopped services in my task manager.

The only thing I have not done is gone in the registry, is this my last option? Can someone please guide me on what to do so I canreinstall the REAL flashplayer since my last one wouldnt update hence my post here today

You've posted the SAME question THREE TIMES in  LESS THAN  an hour,

Understand that this is a "user to user" forum, We ARE NOT employees. We have jobs, families and lives of our own.

There are "Instructions for a clean install" which work for hundreds of people here each week.

If you remove Flash Player using your Control panel, download the offline installer  and reinstall it  (provided you haven't screwed your system up with all kinds of other junk) it should work exactly as it's supposed to. I have XP(x64), Vista(x86), Win 7 (x64) and Win 8(x64) ALL running the latest Flash Player and no problems. I use these machines for "testing" so I put them through all kind of garbage that most people don't but... if something really makes a mess, I GET RID OF IT, and put the system back to a stable state.

When was the last time you defragged your hard drive?
When was the last time you ran a "deep" disk cleanup?

When was the last time you cleaned your registry?

All of these can have an impact on how your system, and things you install, run (or don't).

I'de say im sorry but should I say sorry for people who do not read my hopeful question?

I said I have done every step I have found on the ENTIRE WORLD WIDE WEB at least 2 - 3 times, BESIDES going into the registry playing with deletions/# changes.

I need a pro to help me, not an ass talking about his family on his lunch break. Thanks

This is not about "lunch breaks"; it is about forum etiquette not to post the same question multiple times, or hijacking other peoples' topics!
