I was informed via Secunia that I needed to update Flash Player and then was given link to do so.

Question

I was informed via Secunia that I needed to update Flash player and then downloaded the new version.  After going into Adobe to see if I was installed correctly I found that the program was installed and I had the new version 10.0.45.2.   When I try to play a game that I have been playing for months, I get the message that I need Flash Player version 8 or above.   What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do now?

Thanks for your response.
Now I think I might have it but one thing confuses me.   Will mention it at the end.
Using IE
Going into Tools, Add Ons
Lists Shockwave enabled 1/26/10 - Version 9.0.28.0
Under Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs
It has
    Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
      Version 10.0.45.2
   Adobe Flash Player 10 Plug in
Going into My Computer, Explore and then Macromedia and then Flash  it has 8 files
1.  Flash 10e.oxc
     Active X
     Version 10.0.45.2
2.  FlashUtil10e.exe
     Version 10.0.45.2
3.  NPSWF32.dll
    Version 10.0.45.2
4.  Uninstall_Active X.exe
5.  FlashPlayer.xpt
6.  Install Log
7.  NPSWF32_Flash.Util.exe
     Version 10.0.45.2
8.  Uninstall_plugin.exe

Using Firefox
Under Tools, Plug Ins
Shockwave Flash  10.0.45.2
  doesn't say enable but gives a choice to disable so Assume it is enabled
Going into - Control Panel -- Add or Remove Programs
says  1. Adobe Flash Player 10Active X
2.  Adobe Flash Player plug in.
      Version 10.0.45.2
Going into My Computer - Macromedia, Flash

2.  FlashUtil10e.exe

3.  NPSWF32.dll

5.  Flashplayer.xpt
6.  Install Log

8.  Uninstall_plugin.exe
What confuses me is that most of not all of the dates say 1/26/10.  Doesn't give a date of yesterday when I did Flash Player for Firefox.  Is that normal?
Bottom line -- I can now do the games in Firefox that I haven't been able to play since I installed Firefox.  Wouldn't let me play some other video files as well.
I am still unable to do slow scrolling in e-mail or other webpages when I make the page full screen.  that is only in Comcast and not AOL.  It must be a Comcast problem so will have to get in touch with them.
Let me know if all my files in Flash are okay.
