Have you rebooted since you installed the new version?

Check to make sure that Macromedia isn't in the Untrusted Publishers list of IE.
To do this click Tools>Internet Options>Content>Publishers>Untrusted Publishers.
If a Macromedia Certificate is in that list the hilite it and click Remove.
Then try reinstalling Flash.

macromedia is NOT in that list, there are 2 from verisign..something or other..only
