Reset your IE. Choose reset to defaults and restore advanced settings if you haven't yet.

Have you looked for managed add-ons in IE? Also might want to uninstall Adobe Macromedia Flash Player, Adobe AIR, Shockwave Player, and all of their garbage from add remove programs. Then make sure the Add-On's are all gone in IE. Reboot and try to reinstall. Java has nothing to do with Adobe they are separate companies so you shouldn't need to mess with that. What versions of the Adobe products are installed? We can look for manual removal instructions as well as tools for unistall if we know that information.

I removed flash player,adobe air, and shockwave player from add and remove programs. I looked in manage-add ons after uninstall and they were not there.I rebooted and then installed Adobe flash player and shockwave player. Flash player does not show up in manage add-ons but shockwave does. They both show up in add and remove programs after installation. I install the latest of both.
