- There's a difference between downloading and installing. A succesful install tells you on "page 3 of 3" that it was succesful. What did it tell you?
- There are different versions of Flash for different browsers. If you install it in another one than you use to view that site it doesn't work. Did you check the add-ons in the browser you use?

And, alas, sometimes Flash isn't recognised, even if installed correctly. Then we try another browser (choose from Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox). And we use what works.

That commonly means that the installation program is in your download folder, ready to be run to install that Flash. Since you don't tell you did that, I assume you didn't. Then my advice is to do it.

As I said, it sometimes happens that a succesfull install isn't recognised by the page you show. Can you quote the exact message you get?

And please try Firefox or Chrome. Easy to install, easy to uninstall if they don't work either. Nice to use if they do.
