can you try to use mozilla to see if adobe is correctly installed and that IE8 is the culprit not adobe? <br />

I have discovered that the reg key for the adobe flash player is not deletable. The os says its being used by another process soi think that is where the problem is. I will try and uninstall flash player and see if the reg setting is removed.<br />

Also try an advanced uninstaller like REVO,<br />
<br />
Hopefully this will help?
