OS: Win 7, 32bit, IE 8, Flash Player 10.1

At the end of installation I recieve the following in the address bar : http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/activex/?a=false

I am assuming that the /?a=false is what is causing the Flash Player not to work. Any ideas on How can I correct this problem

    Hi, not sure what that is about. Did you use the Adobe Uninstaller first and follow the instructions?

    I would download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:

    Then I would download and SAVE the Installer to your Desktop:

    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html Use the EXE Installer for Windows/IE

    Once you have that done, then Close all browsers, disable any messenger services in the system tray(area near the clock)

    Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.

    Then run the Installer and reboot when it is finished.

    Then test here and you should see the Flash logo animation and the version of Flash Player that is Installed.
