For what they are worth, I'll offer a few suggestions that you may not 
have tried to date. Download the Flash uninstall program from Adobe and 
run it before trying another fresh install. Check the "association" that 
Windows has for SWF files to assure that the Adobe Flash program is 
indicated. Check the options of the download management program you are 
using to see if there is a security setting that might be restricting 
downloading of SWF files.

I hope this helps.
