    Try this
    Run the uninstaller
     
    If it does not uninstall properly
    To finish the uninstall, open the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete), click the "Processes" tab, select "killbrowser.exe", click and say "yes" to the resulting dialog box
     
    The  uninstaller may not remove Flash from all locations so you should search for the following files and delete, if found:
     
    NPSWF32.dll
    flashplayer.xpt
    GetFlash.exe
    GetFlash.exe.manifest
    NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
     
    Then try to install Flash Player 9

    Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader are two different things
     
    Adobe Reader is to open and view all PDF files
     
    Go to this site and it will test your Flash Player.  Just follow the instructions if you need to update it

    That link is for Adobe/Macromedia ShockWave Player, not Adobe/Macromedia Flash Player.
    Here:
    ^ That is for Adobe/Macromedia Flash Player.
     
    ^ That is for Adobe Reader.
