Weird problem with Nascar 2003

[Ramblinman]

Hi, I had this weird problem with Nascar 2003, well maybe with my steering wheel, not sure. I deleted Adobe Flash because they will no longer support it after Dec, 31 2020. I figured I wouldn't need it for anything. OK, I start up my Nascar 2003 game
and I can't drive, the steering wheel, a TSW, wont work and I can't calibrate it in game. The steering wheel, gas pedal, brake pedal, shifter, nothing works. I get to thinking maybe I shouldn't have deleted Adobe Flash, so I reinstall it. OK, you guessed it
everything works fine again. So do I need to keep Adobe Flash even if they will not support it after Dec. 31?? Would like to hear some thoughts on this, please. Thanks.

"Support" in this scenario typically means they will no longer keep updating it and working on it. In your case, you should still be fine afterwards.
If there is a new Windows update at some point down the road that doesn't "play nicely" with Flash, that's when you might run into trouble, because it's no longer supported. Meaning they don't care if it doesn't work for you, they're not going to try and fix it.
