Flash 9 gave me too many problems with IE6. I uninstalled it, using the current
uninstaller.
I deleted the "SafeVersions" in the registry, re-booted. I installed Flash 7.
Re-booted

It works fine until I go to certain web sites, then it automatically downloads
flash9 again, without prompting. Does anyone know how I can stop this?

I have IE6, Windows ME

You need to override the auto update feature from outside of flash.

Use their uninstaller again. Then make a file with notepad(Start>Run, notepad
or notepad.exe), call it mms.cfg and put one line in it with the following text:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
and put it in c:\Windows\system per that page I linked to:

For player versions prior to Flash Player 8, store the mms.cfg file in the
following location depending on the operating system:

Windows NT, 2K C:\WINNT\System32
Windows XP C:\WINDOWS\System32
Windows 95, 98, or ME C:\Windows\System

After you uninstall, you may want to grab CC Cleaner and use that to remove
just the flash data, but dont mess with the other stuff.
