How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed. This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager. To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request. If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136

Installation telling me to close internet explorer, but it's closed. Help!

I keep trying to install Flash Player, but it keeps telling me to close Internet Explorer to continue. It's frustrating because my internet is closed. What is happening?

Download the following file by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save the file to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN it yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the ActiveX Installer.

Problem installing Flash Player-says to close Internet Explorer, but it's already closed

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, and have checked that it is installed and enabled, but still the application that requires Flash Player asks for it to be installed. When I try to install it again, it says to close Internet Explorer and retry, which I do, but to no avail. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Empty? Did you click on the Processes tab?
Try the following: download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk. Restart Windows, then before doing anything else, run the downloaded installer.

On the same machine, Adobe Flash Player installs and operates satisfactorily in Internet Explorer but does not install at all in Firefox. What to do? I'd prefer using Firefox in lieu of Explorer.

The machine is running Windows 7, 32 bit. Downloaded Firefox today (Jun 7, 2011) so it should be the latest version. Same with Flash Player.

Hi
Javascript no longer works in Internet ExplorerJavascript has nothing to do with Java.
The fact that I have no problems whatsoever in Firefox leads me to believe that the issue lies with IE.Sounds about right.
When I go to check if I have Java at http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml?ff3 I get a pop up log in box saying "the server java.com at SUN ONE web server requires a username and password" (when using IE - Firefox / Opera display the dancing duke symbol as they should)
It sounds like you are now talking about having Applets run in your browser. Before you talk to IE customer support, you should nail down what your problem actually is, JavaScript or Java Applets, they are different technologies belonging to different people and implemented very differently.
What's going on?You have a problem with Internet Explorer. Either ask their customer service or stop using it.

Installing Flash Player asks me to close Internet Explorer when no IE windows are open

I then have to quit the install and takes me to a download unsuccessful screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks

It sounds like you have something running (most likely hidden away in your system tray) that is utilizing Internet Explorer. I'd recommend looking through the applications that are running and try temporarily quitting as many as possible.
In addition, please try downloading the stand alone installers from here:
Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?
Thanks,

Rollover only works on the border in internet explorer but works fine in all other browsers

I created an aerial map and on specific areas I created a rollover, meaning when you rollover an the image of exp. a house a picture of the house pops up in bigger. It works really well in all browsers..... but in Internet explorer. In internet explorer nothing rolls over. but when I put a border, it does rollover but only when the mouse is on the border. I do not want the border there. I want it to rollover when teh mouse is on the area How can I solve this issue just for internet explorer.
Below is my coding i used:
In HTML:
<div class="map">
<img src="Img/map-of-area.png">
<div class="maparea">
<a class="volley" href="htmlmainhouse.html"> <span> <img src="Img/photos/map/fields.JPG" width="170" height="130" alt="sample" border="0" /></span> </a>
</div>
</div>
In CSS:
a.volley{
/* border: 2px solid red; */
height: 35px;
width: 90px;
position:absolute;
top: 310px;
left: 275px;
z-index:20;
a.volley {
display:inline;
z-index:30;
a.volley span {
display:none;
a.volley:hover span {
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:1em;
left:1em;
width:64px;
height:64px;

For rollovers on image maps, you'll get better cross-browser results with JavaScript functions. See link for details:

Webpage does not show in Internet Explorer but does show in all other browsers?

I have created a webpage, www.nqms.co.uk, it does not show on Internet Explorer. I have tried to troubleshoot via the net and have used a CSS check program etc. but it still won't appear. Any help would be gratefully received.

Add the closing --> comment tag to your css section before the closing </style> tag (see below)
.style3 {font-size: 8pt}
-->
</style>

How can I open just one of my several homepages in the current tab? You can in Internet Explorer but can only open all at once in lots of tabs with Firefox?!?

Within Internet Explorer you can click on a little arrow next to the homepage icon and a dropdown appears with a list of your homepages (I have 5). So if I want to quickly check my facebook or e-mail I can click on it and then on whichever I want to visit (both are homepages). It is much quicker than using bookmarks/typing it in and I don't like the 'permanent tab' feature as I don't want them always open. Does this feature already exist?

You can create a folder with the home pages by using "Bookmark All Tabs" to open a specific page.
You can place that folder on the bookmarks toolbar or use the Bookmarks menu button that you can find in the toolbar palette to get access to that folder easily.
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
* "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.

Close Internet Explorer (Failed Download)

I have tried multiple times to install Adobe Flash Player. The program initializes and I allow it. When trying to download it asks me to close Internet Explorer. After closing Internet Explorer, I hit Retry, but the same messages re-appears. I don't understand why I keep getting that message after I've already exited out of Internet Explorer... the program will not let me continue.
