If I'm correct, you're being nicer to the computer than you have to be: As a rule of thumb installers don't like programs running when they try to set up new programs, so they can modify files that those programs may be accessing. Therefore, they tell you to close the programs (that's why "close any open programs" is endemic to every installer you see). You don't have to be this polite - just close what you can, go ahead and proceed with installation regardless of its warnings, and reboot afterwards if it makes you. If the installer won't let you get past that first screen then you've probably got a different issue that I'm not immediately familiar with.

I'm trying to install Adobe flash player on windows 7 so I can listen to things like book samples from audible.com, and the content from the bbc Iplayer, but when I run the installer I get the following message please close the following programs skypeflashplayer19ax_qa_install, I go into task manager and close skype no problem, but the only flash player window which is open is the instaler itself, and when I close it, it aborts the instalation and then the actual flash player web page shows up, but only when I close the instaler. I've tried saving the .exe file and running it from my desktop, but with the same result. I've also tried downloading google crome as I hear flash player is installed with that, but it's asking me to sign into my google account which I don't have. Perhaps someone could tell me how to get round this problem. It'd help if the bbc and audible realised flash is old hat now and to ditch it as it's not blind-friendly at all, but until they do I'm stuck. I've tried using firefox too, but it hasn't worked and I still get the same message.
