Several times RECENTLY I have had a window appear -

"Macromedia Flash Player 6
A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 6 to run slowly.  If it continues to run your  computer may become unresponsive.  Do you want to abort the script?"

I know that Macromedia is part of Adobe and I have Adobe 9 reader installed. Would that somehow have something to do with it?  I cannot FIND Macromedia LISTED anywhere in Control Panel - Programs & Features and am not sure what to do.  I never use Adobe and have Foxit Reader 2.3 also installed.  Would it be a good idea to just uninstall all Adobe programs?

I have recently got a new PC with Windows Vista OS and am not yet very familier with the new system.

Advice appreciated.    I'm wondering why you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed if you never use Adobe Reader.  Anyway, I believe there's no connection between Adobe Reader and Macromedia Flash Player.  Still, if you never use Adobe Reader, I think I'd uninstall it. And then, run CCleaner (get the Slim version at http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds).

Perhaps you should download Macromedia Flash Player 8And Foxit Reader... Thanks for suggestions, soybean.

To be perfectly honest, I've wondered why I have Adobe Reader -  it was installed ages ago and I changed to Foxit after some problem ( I think that involved Macromedia somehow).  Anyhow, it's now uninstalled and I have downloaded Macromedia Flash Player 8, as you suggest. I have CCleaner.

I still can't find Macromedia listed in Programs and Features. or anywhere else.
