Shockwave Flash plug-in crashing

[Guest]

Lately, I've been getting the following message:  "The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash" in a yellow bar near the top of my browsers.  I get the same error in chrome, IE8, Firefox, etc.

When I go into control panel --> Flash Player --> Advanced Tab, the Updates portion, Plug-in Version:  Not Installed,  ActiveX Version:  11.1.102.55.  I suspect it has something to do with the plug-in version.  When I check for updates at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ it says, "You have version 11,1,102,55 installed".  I've tried uninstalling all "Adobe Flash Player..." programs and re-installing them to no avail.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome with no luck.

Here's my stats:

Windows XP Professional SP3

Intel(R) Core(TM2)2 Duo CPU

e6750 @ 2.66Ghz

3.48 GB of RAM

IE version 8.0.6001.18702

Could you please go the uninstall/reinstall route again, but do it according to my instructions in this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4081633#4081633
