Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link: Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer) and selecting "Save target as".

Save it to your Downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.

Reboot your system.

BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the installer.

If IE still gives you trouble, see: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to be sure it's enabled and ActiveX isn't blocking content.
