You didn't include enough information, which is why this hasn't been answered already. I need to know:
-Which OS you used before the format: XP, Vista, or something else?
-Who performed the format, you or a tech support place?
-How much data was saved from your old configuration? Were all of your files and programs still there after the format?
-What do you mean when you say that Flash "says it is downloading but it is not"? How do you know that it hasn't downloaded? What happens when you try?
-Does your Internet connection work otherwise?
-What else is broken?

Contact me with this information and add it to this question as additional information. You aren't notified when I edit my answer, so you must ask me a personal question or contact me through email or IM if you want a response.
