is it at home or work?

mac os or windows or linux?

try visiting the downloads section of the adobe.com website. it may be that you are not logged on as an administrator in windows (mac os will ask for authorisation), which would prevent the update loading.

have you checked that your pc meets the system requirements for upgrade ie what version of windows does it need, how much system memory (ram) etc. see if your pc is maybe a bit old/under specced for the new version of the flash player.

hopefully someone with a more in depth knowledge of windows will be along soon, i'm a mac person myself.

If you're using IE7 you can double-click the bottom right toolbar "Internet | Protected Mode: On" to change the security settings - if they're set to High, try changing them to Medium and see if it helps.

Cheers,
