    Kane,I just noticed...

    I'd been taking a 2nd. look at our posts today and noticed your statement that Macromedia does not provide an uninstaller for Flash Player so that was why it was not in the Add/Remove area. But Flash Player 7.0 was there and for a while until I did a Repair Install, Flash player 8 was there too. Flash Player 7 is still there, unremovable...but Flash Player 8 is gone. I didn't uninstall V. 8--that occurred, i believe, when I did the Repair Install (a la michaelstevens.)

    1. See the Macromedia Flash Player Removal instructions:

    http://www.macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/

    Macromedia Flash Player does not support Uninstallation from Windows Add/Remove Programs.

    2. Macromedia Flash Player was/is still listed in your Add/Remove Programs tool because your registry contains incorrect windows installer configuration information.

    Run the windows installer cleanup utility and remove only the entry for Macromedia Flash Player (version 7.0.19.0).
