Downgrading Flash 10 to Flash 9,0,124,0 IE/Firefox

A lot of people asked me (mickeyyx on restaurantcityhacks.blogspot.com) how to downgrade their flash versions from version 10 to 9 on either IE or firefox.

TO CHECK YOUR FLASH VERSION BEFORE/AFTER YOU INSTALL GO TO http://playerversion.com

Its really easy actually, except for some people with Vista, installing flash 9 for IE may be a bit more difficult, but don't worry, I'll explain it to you.

Firefox users, honestly, its a quick double click on an installer, and you're done.
You can download flash 9 for firefox on my website (link below).

1) download flash 9,0,124,0 installer

2) close your firefox browser (AIM and stuff are okay to leave open for flash installation for firefox)

3) open the installer and you're done, you have flash 9,0,124,0.


Internet Explorer users, you may find it more difficult to downgrade to flash 9 with the installer, because it tells you that theres a new version. It's okay, it can work:).

1) Close all internet browsers completely, Instant messaging programs, and all other things that might be using your flash app.

2) Download the flash uninstaller from Adobe [ http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe ]

3) Click Start > Run > type "CMD" without quotes (") and press enter

4) In the command window, change to the directory(very important) where you downloaded the uninstaller and type the following:

uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean

5) Run Flash 9,0,124,0 setup. You need the specific one for IE. If you don't have it, i just uploaded it to my website:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select Custom Level.
5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
