    I've got the same problem & can't find a way round it. If I find anything out I'll post it here.

    Is it possible you have a non-working version already installed? I've heard of people having problems with that before. If so there's an uninstaller you can download to get rid of it properly and then try installing again.

    Been having this problem as well with IE7 and Safari. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash including trying the debugg version. I have also tried uninstalling java and reinstalling but nothing seems to work

    This keeps happening to people, I had the same problem months back. You have to install the full version, apparently if you install from going to the flash site yourself instead of the pop up it works. Uninstall then reinstall manually from the flash site

    I had a similar problem with this on Vista but with Java instead. I just keep uninstalling it and reinstalling it and eventually it worked. Good luck.

    That uninstaller above - did it for me a few months back. Took me ages to find a cure - Try it, it works
