-I did a fresh uninstal of adobe flash player, then reinstalled it without rebooting inbetween the instal and unistal, I shut down my computer at night. The following morning i booted it up and i looked into youtube, and my steam to find i could no longer play videos it kept saying i needed adobe flash when i knew for a fact i had just instaled it so i repeated the process and it worked fine until I shut it down again. I have been doing this process for a few days now, and was wondering if there is a way to fix this

Try a clean install, as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315

Then download and run the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Install_in_a_...

[Decimatore123]

I went to the instal page and while I was removing the files I found 2 that I could not remove from the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash it said I needed administrative permission which sadly I don't know how to delete these two files I tried using unlocker but It isn't helping how do I fix dis

[pwillener]

Does your Windows user account have administrative privileges?

If not, can you login to a user account that has?

[Decimatore123]

Yes my account does have administrative privilages

If you're consistently having to reinstall after each reboot, please try the steps listed in this FAQ:

How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player?

If you continue to have problems, please post your installer log so we can see if something is causing Flash Player to be uninstalled.

Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?

So today is December 2012 and Flash is still uninstalling it self and as I patiently wait for an answer 5 months later, I still cant figure out the problem, I now have tried registry cleaners that do not work, I have reinstalled and uninstalled flash at least once every week since July ..

Windows Vista home basic 32 bit

Firefox 18.0

[PeterTSyd]

I have Window 7 Home Edition 64bit

Web Browser is both the IE Explorer 9 and Firefox 18

Flash player is  Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.146

I install it and then after closing browser I have to keep reinstalling it as I am looking at Youtube or speedtest.

I am running AVG I have tried the following

Uninstalling it via a link from this site

Running msconfig without any other applications

Uninstalled Google Chrome

Uninstalled any malware program and AVG

Please Help I am installing this program 2-4 times a day.
