I play games on Facebook. Cannot access games due to adobe flashplayer being out of date. I have tried to update and even tried to download new program. I continually get a Connection failed message. This is getting old and I want to play my games. I even deleted Mozilla and reinstalled. I can play on E but hate it. Need a solution ASAP.

Can you try downloading a "full" Flash plugin installer:

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe

Macromedia is the original developer of Flash, and Adobe owns that domain now, so that is a legit download link.
