The Flash player is used to display video, game and navigation content created by various Adobe programs and tools. Adobe uses a complex delivery method for installing the Flash Player rather than a simple offline download. This makes troubleshooting difficult and often frustrating. Even the installation of the Flash player is not obvious and it will often be bundled with other software.
