Here's a message I posted some time ago. This method of downloading AFP
overcomes all the problems described in this thread, which I also used to
experience. Here goes:
A friend passed this item along from the Accessible Devices List. I've had
problems updating Adobe Flash Player, CCleaner and some other applications.
The website identified in this post makes the process as simple as could be.
The link below brings you to the AFP page. If it alerts you that your AFP
isn't up to date, arrow down a few lines to the download link. Then you go
through the usual Windows download process leading to the saving of a .exe
file. Just click on that file and installation proceeds effortlessly. The
updated AFP works with IE, firefox and other browsers.
The website enables similarly streamlined downloads and installation of
other programs. These can be found by clicking on a link near the top of
this page and above the PDF download link.
First the link, then an edited comment from the list where the information
was posted.

When you visit the website, it informs you if your flash player is current.
If not you need only download and run the provided install program. Just
follow the simple directions. One of the great things is that you will not
have to deal with the installer wanting to install a bunch of unwanted tool
bars Etc. I've updated my player with this and found it to be the easiest
flash player update I've ever done. No more searching all over a website
trying to locate the latest version.

I did that when I was trying to update. Problem is that the uninstaller
doesn't have an unnamed button, only the I and Q buttons.
Thank you.

Hi Bill;
Try the following the next time you need to update.
1. Set your Screen Echo to all. This is done using Jaws key + S.
2. When the Flash Player download screen comes up, 1 of the choices Jaws
will say" button " only. No letters, just " button ."
3. Press spacebar / enter on this unnamed button.
4. Now, tab to the " I " button & press enter, & tab again to the " I "
button & press enter.
You might have to use your Insert/Jaws key + B, keystroke to hear everything
but, having set your Screen Echo to all text, Jaws should read you
something.
This process has worked for me in the past but, it has been awhile since
I've done it. Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike

Problem is: When I run the uninstaller, all I see is an I button and a Q
button.
Once I press the I button nothing happens, no matter how long I wait. If I
press the only remaining button, the Q button, it aborts. No matter what I
do, it won't uninstall.
Thank you.

From an old message:
After too much of a hassle, I found out that the latest version of flash
player does not install over a previous version. You need to uninstall
the previous with a little utility at

I mean the system tray in Windows XP. I'v figured that out, but I'm still
having trouble installing Adobe Flash player even though all of my web pages
are closed, and even Windows Messenger is closed.

what OS are you using? Second, what do you mean by task tray? Do you mean
the system tray or the task bar?

Windows Task tray than jaws is telling me is actually there. Why is this?
How can I see everything?
