Installing Flash Player on to Windows 7 PC

[Guest]

Am I the only person who can't install this BS. I  mean really. WTF? What I want to do is go to bed. I need to install this software, but it keeps telling me to close IE before it can do anything. The program starts downloading and at exactly 50% it stops and tells me to close IE. How the hell do you close a program that isn't open. I have the Flash Player 11 Active X on my programs, and I can't uninstall that because it wants me to close IE first. --- IE is not open. I changed my security settings, but that does not work either. Does any one know WTF to do? When I go a site that uses Flash Player it demands that I install it, but I already have Flash Player 11 Active X installed and none of the sites recognize my computers Flash Player Active X - WTF is Flash Player Active X anyway?

I am tempted to delete your post; why do you need so many expletives when asking for help?

All instances of iexplore.exe must be closed, even those running in the background,  in order to complete the installation.  Use the Task Manager's Processes tab, as every Windows user would know.
