    So my computer (ACER 3820T) auto installed the newest Adobe Flash 10.3 upgrade. I'm running IE9.

    Now the flash player is messing up all my screens whenever there is a flash based ap on the screen. It places the flash based ap in the top right most corner of the screen (whether it's a movie or just an add).

    Example, on this very site here is what I see on the main forum page ...

    You can see the Nokia ad in the top right and it kind of floats there (if I scroll down the screen it follows for a bit before dissappearing).

    Anyone else having this issue?

    I've tried reinstalling Flash from scratch, no luck!

    use the flash deinstaller utility to remove old flash versions.

    reboot your computer

    now reinstall flash

    try web tests again

    Great, doesn't seem to allow me to install previous versions of Flash either. Tells me I'm trying to install a version that is not the latest version and my only option is to Quit...

    As newsposter said try the Flash uninstaller from here:
    Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller Download - Softpedia
    Do you still have an entry in control panel called Flash player 32 BIT? IF yes, try "delete all" from the advanced tab.

    Another thing to try , create another user account & login with the new account then test with it to see of the issue is profile specific.
    If that does not solve it, I would reset IE9 - internet options- advanced - reset button.

    Interesting, having a similar issue with my work laptop. Not as bad in that it seems to only happen with videos versus any flash content, and even then the video works fine until it stops and then moves around on the screen.
