Unable to download and online fixes don't work

[Kat0101]

While downloading I get the prompt to close internet explorer which when done also closes the download.  I've followed the instructions on "fixes" for this, but my settings are already where they advise they should be.  I don't have problems downloading anything else, just Adobe.  Whats up?

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

RIGHT CLICK that file and "Save target as". Do not choose to "Run" it - SAVE IT.

Once it's downloaded, reboot your system, and BEFORE opening anything, go to your downloads folder and run the installer from there.
