You don't use Task Manager to stop a service; that's what the Services Manager is for.

But you don't need to stop any services manually; that's what the uninstaller does all by itself.

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).
