Have been having huge problems with this for over a week, ever since I tried to install a new version of Flash player over the existing one!
But after trying EVERYTHING suggested on the Flash help pages, I've now sorted it - no thanks to those pages however!
Basically to remove these damaged files from the registry you need to go into the regostry, onto the edit tab and click 'find'. Then key in the whole of the filename you're looking for, making sure it's correct. It's long I know, but this does work. Make sure you select the C: prompt on the registry otherwise you may leave some entries in.
Once it's found one, delete it and then press F3 which will find the next entry of the same name. When it finds it check it's right and delete .... carry on til it reaches the end of the registry, and then click refresh on the downloaded program files page - entries will have gone!
Have also sorted out my Flash problem .. so am feeling
