Click the link below and download the file from a different location.
Unzip the file to your desktop. Right click the exe go to properties and tell me the file size. Flash |

Are you clicking the .zip file or the .exe file?
The exe is inside a folder named flash. If you saved the file you downloaded from my site too your desktop then the folder named flash will also be on your desktop. |

lets run a repair on the browser.
start/ control panel/ add remove programes/ find IE in the list and highlight it/ on the right side it should give you the option to repair. Follow the prompts to repair. Then try installing the flash. |

I'm sorry I missed a step
On the left side click add remove windows componants. Its in there. Take the check mark out of ie and click next once its done put the check mark back into it and click next again that will reinstall its control system. From there we need to check some settings let me know when your ready to proceed |
