do you know anyone with an internet connection or do you have one at work where you can download it onto a flash drive and bring it to your computer?

Have you got any old CDs for games, etc., kicking around?
Adobe is bundled with a great many other programs and you don't need the latest version to do what you have to do!
I recently loaded an older version that was only 5MB to test a printer.
You may have what you need in a desk drawer?

Hi,

I've sent you a private message. Let me know how you get on.

The only reason i've done a private message is due to the fact that i've uploaded the flashplayer activex to my webspace and have sent the address to you. If everyone knew it then my bandwidth would get hammered lol.

It could have been an issue when the OS was installing. Is it an original cd or a copy? If the disk looks ok and there isnt any obvious defects or scrathes then it might be worth getting hold of a memory checker to check your ram in the computer. If the ram is faulty then you will get corrupted data being transfered over during the install.
You can download a tester here as an iso image to burn to cd :-

Burn it then boot from it to run a test.
