I logged on to facebook and tried to play Zygna poker, I had a message that I required Adobe flashplayer 10.xx. I downloaded and installed the flash player. reboot and logged back on to facebook. Clicked on the poker icon, I received the same message. "I needed to download Flasher Player to play this game"

If your Flash player works on Adobe's test page --

http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

-- then the message may indicate that the script the site uses to set up the Flash player did not run properly.

There are many reasons that scripts might be blocked on a site, including: you having installed the NoScript add-on (in that case, use the NoScript menu to allow the site to run its scripts) or security software set to filter out scripts. Not sure if either of these apply to you.
