To your desktop. Do not choose run always save as.

4. Run this “install_flash_player_active_x.msi” with every Internet Explorer en Windows Explorer Window Closed and virus scanner disabled completely.
NOTE FOR VISTA USERS

If you are unable to perform these steps, you can try and ask someone else to perform these steps for you.

Restart Internet Explorer and go to www.adobe.com , if you see the animation in the top, Flash Player is installed correctly.
If not please Contact Microsoft to check if Internet Explorer is somehow set up with the wrong security settings for installing Active-X components.

You can also install Firefox at www.getfirefox.com which comes with Flash pre installed to sea if Flash works in FireFox and not in Internet Explorer.

We will close this case, as the steps mentioned above should resolve your issue with Flash Player. If they do not, this issue is not directly related to the Flash Player but either to corrupted Windows System Settings or changed Internet Explorer Security settings due to a Microsoft Update.

You can always try and use the Windows System Restore utility to restore your system to a day that everything was still working correctly, but we do not recommend this, specifically after following the steps above.

    I also want to thank you so much for your assistance. I have been trying for a few days to download and could not get anywhere. I had just bought a new game and could not use it until the upgrade. I can't believe it was that easy. Why doesn't Adobe have the option of saving the installer? That was my problem....it would never install from their site.

    Once again...Thanks so much!
