Hi I recently seemed to 'lose' flash player on my IMac. I have tried downloading a new version but the download won't work. On the download screen when I click the 'start download' nothing happens except that the timer animation thingy, in the Safari browser address bar, starts going round and ro.

I go to Adobe's website and when I click the flash download option, a window opens saying that I cannot download the program. Hopefully one of you can help me with this problem.
