Flash Player

I've not been able to download and install Flash Player. It downloads ok
and starts the install then I get a message that the "Install Failed." I go
to their website and follow troubleshooting, etc. and it still won't
install.
They suggest reloading Internet Explorer (I have 7). Did that and still
wouldn't install.

Any suggestions?

ps. I haven't changed a thing to cause this that I know of. It tries to use
Flash Player on YouTube and now it won't work.
Thanks for any help.

Having problems again.
Needed it for YouTube viewing.

Did an uninstall.
Did an Install.
Got an error message:
Error 1904.Module
C:Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
failed to register. HRESULT -2147220473. Contact
your support personnel.

Tried to troubleshoot at the Adobe site but couldn't do any good.

Help again please.
Thanks,
Doug
