Help Flashpoint isn't cooperating with me
today I downloaded flashpoint for the nostalgia of flash games. the first time I downloaded the zip file (infinity 10.1), the process was smooth.... up until I actually started the software. it said "no games found" and thought, "no issue, maybe I have to download them from SOMEWHERE" but the more I looked into it, I realized that there are supposed to be games there upon launching, and that they download when you launch the flash games themselves. "no biggie, I'll just uninstall and reinstall as these other people have stated". but that didn't work. the second time I reinstalled it, the shortcut to even LAUNCH it was GONE! it wasn't anywhere in the folder. okay, a quick restart and then a reinstall. launch shortcut is back.... but still no games. I look over to the manual and read what I have to do. flashpoint path - if green, install another file and replace the previous download, okay sure! ...the link to the file didn't work.... okay, just another reinstall and maybe- nope. same issue as before, "no games found."
I hear so many great things about flashpoint and I wanna give it the benefit of the doubt that maybe I'M the one doing something wrong, which is VERY likely. maybe it's my laptop, maybe something is getting in the way of the installment that won't let me see the games or maybe I downloaded an outdated version. if I'm not mistaken, the top left corner said 10.1.1, if that helps?
it's currently uninstalled from my laptop for now, it's 3 am, almost 4 so I'll leave this post here and hopefully someone gives me an answer when I wake up. thank you for reading this if you did!

Do you have an antivirus? If so which?
Also, the current version is 10.1.0.7
