Adobe Flashplayer issue

Well, I seem to be like a boom a rang - I keep coming back! Anyway, I didn't realize that Adobe Flashplayer came with the Froyo 2.2 update! I went ahead and installed Flashplayer 10.2 after the Froyo update. Now, if I go to CNN.com (full site) and try to watch one of the news videos, the site is asking me to install Adobe Flashplayer. If I click on the install button for the flashplayer, the site says my OS will not support the player'. Froyo 2.2 DOES support the Adobe Flashplayer yet, I can't seem to make the smart(dumb)phone understand that the player is already installed. What is my next step in troubleshooting this problem? I have already tried a soft reset! Thank you....

I guess that would be an issue since it is now part of the os. I guess in this situation you would have to do a complete factory reset is the only option I see now..

Uninstall the adobe flash player, remove your battery, hold the vol. up for a several seconds, reinsert the battery, turn the phone on and reinstall the app

I don't understand how a "smart" phone can get so dumb. I used the Flashplayer on my HTC Incredible and it worked fine. There must be a way to make it work with the Thunderbolt...that is short of a factory reset. Come on now.
