Sorry guys, this is not really a relevant question, but I dont know where to get any help . . .  
I have been running a trial version of Flash MX and I now want to uninstall it.  
I am running XP and I go to Settings\>Control Panel\>Add/Remove Programs, and try to remove Flash.  
Uninstall Shield opens and it goes through the uninstall process, but no matter how many times I try that, Flash is still there and I can still open it, but when I do, I will do a few things eg: create a mc, select the text tool, and it crashes.  
What could the problem be??

Hi,  
If you go to where Flash is installed, this should be programmes \> macromediea \> flash MX, you should find an uninstall icon there, double clicking it will completely remove Flash from your screen. Alternatively, if you click on programmes on your start menu ( is it the same in XP as in 2000 ? ) find flash and you should have an uninstall icon there as well.

Hope that helps
