OK just checked and it looks like it is partially uninstalled, would you be prepared to try it and see if we can duplicate the slowness in the webpages

Firefox download

For firefox install this version
The required settings on the page are as shown

i downloaded the flash player for firefox after the screenshots and it worked. so, something is going on with flash player in IE.

i really don't like firefox, i have become accustomed to IE9 and yahoo.

If it works OK in Firefox then it means that I need to track down a possible solution to the Flash problem in IE. We will uninstall Firefox if you no longer wish it

Uninstall firefox using Programs and Features
Put a check mark in the box that says Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations during the uninstall
Then delete this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

I will see what I can find out about flash problems in IE

One of the areas I was looking at

Two further options worth a try

1. From Safety (on the Command Bar) disable ActiveX Filtering

2. Tools>Internet Options, Advanced tab, uncheck "Enable third-party extensions". Save your changes. Close ALL open browser windows. Restart your browser.

i had disabled active x filtering last night. it helped a bit, i just unchecked the third party extensions. i don't know if that did anything yet. is it possible to go back to an older version of flash player?

Yes I will hunt one out
First use the flashplayer uninstaller to clear the programme
Then download and install V11
