    Perhaps an uninstaller before you attempt another install?
    Code:
    http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
    This is for IE running on Windows 7 and below, it is a direct download
    Code:
    http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_15_active_x.exe
    After it downloads, try right clicking and run as an administrator

    This is for all other browsers running on Win 7 and below
    Code:
    http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_15_plugin.exe

    Thanks for trying.

    There is nothing to uninstall so i tried all three that you gave but with the same results,it gets to the dowload stage and then stalls.

    I can only assume the problem is with the PC because my other PC running windows 8 does not have a problem.

    I must do some work to find what is blocking it.:(

    thanks
    Bill

    Flash for Windows 8 is installed through Windows update; it is completely different than all previous versions of Windows.

    Can you download the two flash files using your Win 8 computer, put the files on a USB stick and move the files to the desktop of the Win 7 computer?

    I download 1 copy of each flash, put them on a stick on move them to 7 different Windows installs every patch Tuesday when flash is updated.
