How do I prevent this error (message)?

[TEA]

Day 2:  Yesterday I got instructions to download Adobe Active, that did not work.

All I was trying to do was updae my Adoble Flash Player.  It did not work.  I have tried many things:

• Normal downloda instructios.
• Re-start of my computer and tried download again.
• Full shut down and tried download again.
• Checked (per instructions) the 'enable' setting.
• Remove the old versio of Flash and tried download again.
• Tried dowloading 'Active', that failed also.

The download get to the 50% point then I get an error message:

• The Flash Player settings manager is currently open.  Please close the Flash Player setting manager and try again.

I checked my tash manager and I have no other programs running.  In fact all closed all programs before attempting the download.  There must be something I can do to regain the use of my Flash Player.  Please help!

When you download Flash player and get message to prompt close explorer, it mean you will install activX  Flash player plug-in version. so please closed you browser and install the latest Flash Player version.

please uninstall your activeX Flash Player following http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download latest Flash player via   http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

hope it works on you computer

Thanks

Sometimes the error messages are not correct; it may say something is running, when in fact it has some permission problem to delete/replace it.

Try a clean install: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
