Like most avid users I try to keep every piece of software up to the latest release version.  Obvious the attempt to upgrade Macromedia Flash player v6 was a bad decision.  I have tried many times to download and install without success.  Went through the steps to manually remove all evidence including their instructions for registry editing but still no luck.  Many web pages I visit used/require the flash player to properly view.  I cannot even go back to reload Internet Explorer or Xp without wiping and reinstalling everything. Any ideas?
