hello bamagator62, please see if you can get the update to install when you use the full offline installer that is available at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).

Philip for some wacky reason it stops at step 2 of 3 if I uninstall flash player I'm in a heap of trouble then. What is the problem that it will not let me go to version 16?
