The Adobe site also provides full (offline) installers without bundled software: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
The uninstallers can be found at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html (Windows) or http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html (Mac).
Did you uninstall the previous version first or did you install over the top of it?
At first, I did as I normally do; I went to Adobe's website and installed the latest version (over the top). When all my home computers starting having browser lockups, I remembered I had updated flash. Then I manually uninstalled Flash, downloaded the previous version, and then ran the install .exe directly for it.
New Flash Player versions can often cause various problems when used in conjunction with outdated graphics drivers.
Adobe's Flash is used by (almost) everyone. But how many users have Shockwave installed ? Is it still relevant ?

Haven't used Shockwave since I think near the end of me using Win98.
