unable to install Flash Player in XP

Whenever I try to install Flash player 9 on my comp it gives the following
error:
Error 1904. Module
C:\WINDOWS\system 32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9e.ocx failed to register.
HRESULT - 2147220473
Contact your support personnel.
I have tried almost all troubleshooting displayed on the Flash site including
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...9166&sliceId=2
Tried to instal using stand alone installer
http://www.softwarepatch.com/network...-security.html
but to no avail.
When I go to IE>Internet options>Manage Add-ons>
I see that this direct X has been installed and the status is enabled, but
flash doesn't work on my comp.
Also when I go to IE>Internet options>General>Settings>View objects>
it shows an active X control {8FFBE65D-2C9C-4669-84BD-5829DC0B603C}
Version 1,0,0,25. Status & Created BY- Unknown & code base as -
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer. I have tried updating this
by right-click.It does not work. I have even deleted this & tried downloading
again from adobe site but it does not work.
Can anyone please help.
