Question about flash/shockwave player

Question

New member with a couple questions and needing help. I have
been having trouble getting emoticons on forums to animate (like
the light bulb flashing on and off) . I then went to Control
Panel/Add Remove programs and I have 3 players listed. One is Adobe
Flash Player 9 active X and clicking details says it is version
9.0.16.0. I also have Macromedia Flash Player version 8.0.5.0 and
Shockwave Player version 10.1.13.8 Do I need all of these??? At one
time I uninstalled all the players from my computer using the
uninstallers and then reinstalled but now I have too many I think.
What I need to know is what do I really need to have installed once
they have been uninstalled. I did the update for the flash player
to version 9.0.28.0 but it isn't showing up. Is it okay to
completely uninstall all 3 flash players and then just install the
new 9,0.28.0 and the shockwave 10.1.3.18??? I need to do something
because with what I currently have, nothing seems to be working
right. I hope this makes sense to the person reading it and if you
need additional information please let me know.

Thanks. I used the uninstallers for both the flash player and shockwaver player I had. Then I reinstalled both again. I now have Flash player 9.0.28.0 and Shockwave player 10.1.4.20

But when I go to view the emoticons that should be flashing they are not. Is the a ocx something I need to have???
