i'm trying to update my flash player to the latest one from adobes website. i use firefox and have windows 7. i have no script installed but its set to allow adobe etc.
firefox blocks the add on for the download manager, adobes website warns this might happen but just says to click allow/accept. so i do. everything goes fine, windows 7 sends me that warning saying do you want adobe to make changes to your computer...etc yes, yes.

click accept to everything, adobe download manager opens up. then nothing. nothing loads/installs, no progress, just the option to close the download manager. but otherwise a blank table, nothing happening.

why is this? can someone offer any advice? i really need to update my flash because some stuff i used to use has stopped working and tells me i need a flash update.
