How do I replace adobe flash player for Mac OSX 10.6.8 after I have uninstalled

I tried to update Flash Player to the latest version as per the instructions on the Adobe site. Unfortunately, I have tried to download it at least half a dozen times now but have been unable to do so. Each time I have followed this up by uninstalling it as outlined. Unfortunately now I dont have my "old" version either, as the instructions in the "problem solving" notes tell you to uninstall any older versions. I have an older iMac intell which has been upgraded and runs Leopard. I decided that enough was enough and I would, if possible, download an older version rather than try yet again to get the update. So much so that I am determined not to even try to update my Macbook!!!

I have checked my Security preferences and they are already enabled (Safari v. 5.1.9). Having checked my applications folder, I do have a file named "Java Preferences" listed there. I have also disabled Java in Firefox.

I have tried to download yet again and Java told me that the download was successful. However, when I tried to use it, I was told that it had not downloaded. I went into my console log which showed the following (I hope this is helpful) ........

I tried to use my bt broadband checker but this stated that I needed to download Flash Player!!!! Unfortunately it seems that I have no alternative but to try and download it ..... otherwise I would not bother.

Hope this gives you a full picture.

As an afterthought, can I re-download an old one from an old backup?

Sorry - do you mean remove

/Library/Receipts/ScanGear MP450 202.pkg

and

/Library/Receipts/SpeedTouchUSB.pkg

Will this affect any of my other apps. etc.?

Sorry to seem so dumb but I cant find the folder in order to delete. Can you please help.

Thanks

Sorry - should have explained that I am just a novice. I dont know where the boot volume disk icon is to be found.
