I have windows 7 (32bit); the latest version of internet explorer (version 10.0.9200etc) and have got rid of the last version of flashplayer. Whilst downloading the latest version of flashplayer it says that I have to close internet explorer (no problem) and 'servicemanager'. I have no idea what this refers to? ( I have disabled my AVG so thats not the problem).

Could anyone tell me what this servicemanager is, and how to close it down? I would be extremely grateful, because it is becoming frustrating! Thankyou.

Launch Windows Task Manager (Keyboard Shortcut : Ctrl+Shift+Esc)

Go to Processes Tab

Make sure "Show processes from all users" is checked. 

Then look for servicemanager,select the process and click end process.

After this you can install flash player.
