Help with software that runs Adobe Flash Player

Good morning community, sorry to bother you. My PC runs Windows 8.1 (64 bits) and every so often I use a language software that I love (Tell Me More), to practice my English. The problem is that in order to run this program I need to have Adobe Flash Player installed, and I don't know what to do. I know Flash reached its end of life, but I was wondering if there's any workaround to solve this kind of problem. Flash runs directly in the program, not in browsers. I had downloaded the Adobe Flash Player installer from the official site, and it turns out that when I want to run it it says "Application initialization error". Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestion and best regards to everyone!

    Hi @dafaher,

    Ask "Tell Me More" for an updated version that does not rely on Flash Player.  Everyone had 3-1/2 years advanced warning that Flash Player was ending in Dec 2020, more than ample time to prepare new software.  You can tell them that Flash Player is no longer available and even if it was, your browsers won't allow you to use it anymore.

    Good luck!
