keep trying to download and install flash player

[Guest]

My flash player quit working, so I upgraded it.  A few days ago, it just dies.  I can't find it anywhere on my computer.  So I tried to download and install the newest flash player.  It initializes and begins installing.  Then stops and asks me to turn off Internet explorer, which I do and click RETRY.  I then get and ERROR:  Application is currently in use.

What is going on?  If i tell it to install Chrome, it stops that and says it is already installed.  I can't find this program either.  It was obviously installed when I last updated flash player.  So why can I not play any videos now?
