ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.2.159.1 PROBLEM

Question

I'VE BEEN TRYING ALL DAY TO INSTALL AN ADOBE FLASH PLAYER (THE ADOBE FLASH PLAYER I'VE USED FOR MONTHS JUST DISAPPEARED).  I HAVE AN ACER ASPIRE, USE WINDOWS 7, 32 BIT AND, WHILE NOT A TECH OF ANY SORT, I CAN CERTAINLY FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
AS A STARTING POINT, HOW WOULD A PERSON INSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER ON A LAPTOP WHICH HAS NO SUCH PLAYER?
NOTE: I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING PROMISING ONLINE, AND COME TO A TOTAL STOP AFTER PRESSING THE "DOWNLOAD" BUTTON IN WHICHEVER PROGRAM. AT THAT POINT, AN "ADOBE FLASH" SCREEN APPEARS, INFORMING ME I MIGHT ENCOUNTER 4 PROBLEMS (AND PRESUMABLY WHAT TO DO IF I GET ONE). HOWEVER, THIS PAGE IS A TOTAL DEAD END, AS THERE IS NO WAY TO PROCEED WITH THE DOWNLOAD. THE ONLY THING I CAN DO WITH THIS PAGE IS TO READ IT.
SO, PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A SHORT STEP-BY-STEP THROUGH DOWNLOADING THE FLASH PLAYER, ESPECIALLY WHEN GETTING TO THE DEAD END PAGE, ABOVE. IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE.
ALSO, CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ADOBE REMAINS OUT OF THE LOOP ON THIS ONE (EXCEPT FOR THE OPPOPRTUNITY TO SPEND AN (APPARENTLY UNLIMITED) AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THE BLIND HOPE I CAN GET AN ANSWER FROM SOME TECH STRANGER.
ALSO, I SHOULD ADD, I'M NOT ASKING FOR A THESIS ON THE SUBJECT AS IT SHOULDN'T TAKE MORE THAN A FEW STEPS.  FOR EXAMPLE, STEP 1. MIGHT BE 'GO TO WWW.ADOBE.COM/FLASH PLAYER.COM".  SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS ALL I REALLY NEED FOR EACH STEP; YOU DON'T HAVE TO START WITH BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S DISCOVERIES IN ELECTRICITY; OR PRATE ON ABOUT ACTIVE-X FILES, SECURITY PROBLEMS, 32 BIT VS. 64 BIT STUFF, .ETC.
THANKS, IN ADVANCE TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME GET A FLASH PLAYER DOWNLOADED.

Sorry, I could read only the first paragraph you wrote, then my eyes grew very tired and I couldn't continue.  It is very hard to read ALL-CAPS postings!
But I understand that you need instructions to reinstall Flash Player; try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk;
download the FP installer(s) from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html and save it/them to disk - note that there are two different installers, the ActieX for Internet Explorer, and the plugin for all other browsers;
close all browser instances, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer(s).
Now go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ - if you can see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F'), then Flash Player is correctly installed and working.
