Here's the full scope of my problem.
I'm using Windows 7 Platform. I use Mozilla and Internet Explorer 9, with both browsers I run into the same problem.
I try to download Flash Player 11 and I get this error message::
C:\Windows\system32\DSOUND.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.
Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
The download reaches 100% but doesnt work on either of the browsers due to the error message. So far I've uninstalled reinstalled browsers and Flash Player 11 numerous times direct link and indirect links. I've toggled the activex options for the Scripts but the error message still pops up.
This is a 32 & 64 bit Flashplayer.

I ran sfc/scannow on CMD
Results from cmd:
Verification 100% Complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them
Details are included in the CBS.log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
SFC TEXT details found these problems.
