    Hi phoenixstanley, Welcome to Windowsbbs! :)

    Try shutting down all background programs that are running in the system tray and then try to install flash player. When you download flash player try saving it to your harddrive and then run it.

    If that doesn't work then take ownership of the flash_player.exe file by following the instructions in this link, How to take ownership of a file or a folder in Windows XP.

    If that still doesn't work then log into the administrator account and then attempt to install flash player from there, How to log into the Administrator account in Windows XP.
