hello, all --
i am a newbie of long standing , so please forgive my ignorance. i plead for mercy from the kind and generous people who answer inquiries here.
i got a notice on my computer that a newer version of adobe flash player was available. the one i had at the time was 11.4.402.265. the newer version was 11.4.402.278. i got to where i thought was the right place and clicked "download." within a few seconds i got a message saying that a "script error" had occurred on the page and did i want to continue running this script.
-- line 1
-- char 12948
-- error, object expected
-- code 0
-- URL http://127.0.0.1:1127/app/_js/adobe.js
it doesn't seem to matter whether i click "yes" or "no" on continuing to run the script. the next thing that happens is that i get a second "script error" notice.
-- line 1
-- char 1180
-- error, 'globalActiveActionItems' is undefined
-- code 0
-- URL http://127.0.0.1:2501/app/_js/adobe.js
it doesn't matter whether i click "yes" or "no" on whether i want to keep running the script. the screen reverts to saying that it is "retrieving install," then i get the second "script error" message again. and to make things worse, i can't get rid of the "retrieving install" screen; it has the minimizer button and the "quit" button (x), but the "quit" button does nothing, so for now i've simply minimized it.
what has happened here? what should i do to fix it? i've tried going back to the beginning and redoing it, but i end up over and over again with the second "script error" message. i've tried making sure that "scripting" is "enabled" under "tools/internet options/scripting," then closing and reopening internet explorer (a suggestion i found in a similar thread), but the same things keep happening.
i am on a dell optiplex 330, windows pro XP/SP3, IE 8.0.6001.18702.
thanks to anyone who has any suggestions for me.

That is not how computers usually behave; mostly it is the other way around...
But I'm glad your computer did the right thing!
Don't hesitate to come back if you need more help.

I don't see any ignorance here; you are one of the very few posters who actually provide some real information, like your operating system and browser. Thank you, and welcome [back] to the forums!
I do not know what causes these script errors, but I suggest that you proceed to the following link and download, then run the offline installer: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.ht...
Note that Internet Explorer must be closed during the install.

hello, pat --
thank you so much for your quick reply!
a miraculous thing has happened that i have no way in the world of explaining. for lack of any other ideas, i closed everything one more time and restarted the computer again. to my astonishment, the flash player installed without a hitch! i even checked it against my list of programs; it was the correct version and there was no earlier version left.
i swear that i did nothing different from the multiple previous times i had messed with this, so altho i wish i could tell everyone else with this problem what i did to resolve it, i don't have a clue!
i appreciate your willingness to help.
