Why is my Adobe Flashplayer download timing out at 47%?

I'm trying to connect my daughter's Leap Frog Leap Pad to the computer. It tells me that I need to update my Adobe Flash Player to the latest version. My computer tells me I already have this version installed- 11,7,700,169-. I ask it to update Adobe Flash Player anyway-- and the download always "times out at 47%". I don't know  much about computers...what is the problem?Any help would be appreciated.
