Problem installing latest version

Question

Everything was fine yesterday, I watched many videos with my flash player, then a video told me I needed to upgrade my flash player to view... So I downloaded, got the logo above & message below on the download page confirming version 10... was installed... fine, but nothing was functioning, no player.
I did the research, followed the trouble shooting instructions:
Uninstalled:
Using: Windows Vista Business, Internet Explorer 8
Went to Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, right clicked FlashUtil10g_ActiveX.exe, Ran as administrator, Uninstalled, Done
Rebooted
Deactivated Norton Anti-Virus & Firewall, Verified Java enabled, and activeX prompts as per instructions
Went to http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer Did the download
The download manager says installed successfully, then I get the pop up:
MessageBox: 12582960,"The version of Adobe® Flash® Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most current version.
Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest, most secure version."
and, I can't see the logo above & message below on download page So it's not installing.
Here's the install log's details.... Please I've redone the whole process at least 8 times last night and 3 times today NO LUCK, please anyone HELP I can't work without the flash player!
Thanks

Hi SD, Somehow between the first Install and the second, it appears you Installed a pre-release/beta version. To Uninstall that version, you need to use a special Uninstaller. Everything else you did correctly. Go to this site and page down to "Uninstallers" Follow the instructions and be sure to Reboot(restart) when finished.

You can download to your Desktop the FP Installer for IE here:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
After you are finished Uninstalling and before running the Installer, close all browsers, disable any applications that may be running in the system tray, messengers, etc. In other words do everything you did when Installing before.
When finished, Reboot and test your FP again and test any website.
If you have any questions, just post.
Thanks,
