updated flash player does not work can't play games or video

[etnanna]

First I have Windows 7 and use IE 8 Downloaded newest verision of flash player - didn't work so I uninstalled the player shut the computer down - turned computer back on disabled firewall and went back to your website and downloaded 11.700.169 .  I tried to play games on facebook and it won't work keeps telling me to download the newest version. This is driving me crazy what do I have to do go back to an earlier date and restore my computer.  All I know is it worked before and now I can't get it to work.  What is the problem?

I do not want to use Chrome  and why can't I get the earlier version I had last week.

You write that you "downloaded", but did you also install it?
