Adobe Flashplayer install

[adirondackblue821]

The installation wizard is asking me to close a program that I can't find where it's open? What can I do to complete the install? It asked me to close two programs. Internet Explorer which was indeed open in another window. I did close it, then it asked me to close the Smileboxtray which I can't find   .Any and all suggestions welcome.

Pat: Thank you so much for your reply.I do have a few questions about following the instructions for closing Internet Explorer and Smilebox tray so that I may complete the install of flash Player in Internet Explorer. If I click on end process for IE and Smilebox Tray In Windows Task Manager will that disable the programs after the install of Flash Player or will they still be functional afterwards? Also I may not need to do any of this as I have since learned that I already have the latest version of Flash Player installed with Google Chrome.It just don't work when I'm browsing in IE. If I were to try and install it anyways would there be a conflict?

When you close that tray icon (you can probably also close it by right-clicking on it), it will automatically come back next time you Start Windows.  Internet Explorer you can just start again the normal way.

There is no conflict between the Flash Player add-ons on Internet Explorer, Chrome, or other browsers.
