    Hi   I am going round and round in circles here and hope someone can help me.

    I am trying to install Flash Player and get the message that I need to click on download Adobe DLM as an extra or something like that. sorry not computer literate. Quite ill.

    When I try to do this I get another message saying

    "a problem has occurred with this webpage and has caused IE to close the tab and reopen it".

    When I look into this further I am told it is because IE tries twice to open and if nothing happens then they shut off to stop a loop situation occurring.

    Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problem?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello, are you also using a 64 bit? You might want to list what Operating System you are running and what browser version.
