Flash Player white (all black or all white) on multiple sites

On a number of sites (for example: www.thedailyshow.com) Flash video area is empty, either all black or all white.  Flash works on most of the other sites and all Flash ads, including on pages where the main flash video is empty. (See attached image)

It's on a Win7 HP, 64-bit using IE9 and Adobe Flash 11.1.102.55. (more details below)

This lasts for about two weeks.  I did all the standard stuff:

Off to hardware acceleration, checked the box 'Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering'; persons with disabilities followed by protection; has confirmed that the Shockwave Flash add-on has been activated; temporarily the security value low. see the page in Firefox. uninstalled and reinstalled Adoble Flash; Uninstalled and installed Flash Flash 10.3.  Nothing is no good.  I hope someone can help. Thank you

  • Flash Player plays all videos

    Hello!

    After reading this forum and without finding a solution to my problem, I started this topic.

    I'm using Firefox (9.0.1) with latest Flash Player (11.1.102.55) on Windows 7 64 bit. For safety, I use "Microsoft Security Essentials Windows" and the Windows Firewall.

    I did uninstall and install Flash Player with the guide posted on this forum (source: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846#4041846).

    But the problem persists: I can't watch videos.

    YouTube or livestream.com isn't a problem, but I can not watch twitch.tv or megavideo.com. Twitch.TV I see a black frame without sound, play/pause button etc... MegaVideo.com just tells me to install Flash Player.

    On the forum I found a solution with disabling hardware acceleration, but it does not save the setting. So I think about a problem with the file/folder rights... but it's just a thought.

    Maybe someone of you can help me. I have this problem on 2 computers and another 2 computers, it works perfectly.

    Greetings from the Germany!

    Marthetabani

    Well...

    Are you ready for something REALLY REALLY REALLY ridicoulos?

    Here we go:

    Today, it is again did a format c:. My first time, I installed all windows updates. Turn it back on. Then I installed IE9. Turn it back on. After that, I installed Flash ActiveX and Plugin. Tested on botch: same question as before.

    I thought: 'what the devil... "But after that, I tried 'create a new user'-'solution '. 2 users: 'test1' no admin account admin 'test2 '. The problem has been resolved for BOTH accounts. Yes, with TWO new accounts, I can watch twitch.tv and own3d.tv. With my old account I can't watch it. I deleted my first admin account, renamed the second and also delete the user account 'test1 '. Problem solved.

    I don't know why it works, and why there is a difference between the admin account 1 and account admin 2, but it works for me.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Why should I allow Adobe Flash Player run all of a sudden almost every other minute?

    I'm not updating I do not add plug-ins I have nothing, but browse the sites SAFE and all of a sudden, Adobe Flash Player does from time to time, and Mozilla asks me if I want to allow it to work?

    All versions of the Flash plugin have been disabled by Mozilla because of a disclosed security hole that Adobe has to fix.

    Please, do not comment in bug reports
    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html

  • Pop-up ads continue despite all the information here regarding remove them.  I think they were watching when I downloaded an update for Adobe Flash Player.  All of the suggestions!

    I use OS x El Capitan 10.11.2 on my 3.2 GHz, 8 GB Mac.  I keep getting the pop - ads that those scam ads reply and get their malicious software solution.  I also get the help line 'Apple' where someone's endearing supposedly walk me if they can help.  I tried all of the solutions in the Apple support groups, but nothing has worked... remove extensions (don't have), in order to put the files listed in 'Go to Folder' (none came, so I couldn't remove them).  Any ideas?  It seems that it got worse after I received a notice to update my Adobe Flash Player... maybe a false update.

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") The title of the page is 'Diagnostic Test'. Under the title is a text box, headed by three small icons. The right one represents a Clipboard. Click on this icon to select the text, then copy to the Clipboard of your computer by pressing Control-C key combination.

    If the text is not highlighted when you click the icon, select it in triple - click anywhere inside the box. Do not select the whole page, just the text in the box.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal as "Syntax error" or "Event not found", enter

    exec bash

    and press return. Then paste the script again.

    10. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    11. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

    12. when the test is finished, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    13. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

    It is the latest version.  I used the uninstall tool and did a reinstall of fees. I did not remove all directories of the old layout, so that could be the next, but I feel like I'm grabbing at straws here.

    Installation of firefox is also the last version.  I'm on Windows 7 x 64. Dual Xeons.

    I see the flash control panel says (32-bit), which seems odd.

    I read where he said to try disabling hardware acceleration, but I don't have such a setting in my PC, and I can't get the flash player to work long enough to use the old settings panel.

    Can someone give me some steps to isolate the problem?

    Thanks for the comments.  I'll close this thread, especially because it is long and impossible to follow.  I'm marking this correct message, just to get to the top of the first page for new people to come through it in their research.

    If, after upgrading to Firefox 40 * and * Flash Player 18, you are still having problems, please start a new thread for your individual accident.  It's so much easier to give advice in this way.

    Do not hesitate to talk to me to get my attention (type the at sign, followed by my name and it will appear in AutoComplete).  Please provide a couple new crash ID as we do in this thread, because they have all the details of the platform as well as the signatures of crash and call stacks.

    Thanks again for your efforts and your comments here.

  • I can't use flash player at all for some reason any...

    I have windows 7, I run similar 62 bit told me, I use Internet Explorer 9 and my system should be fully capable of running flash player.  Every time I use a site that added or videos based on a drive flash, says Add or video flashes just as I move the mouse backward across the screen.  YouTube works very well for me.  The problems started when I had a newer version of flash player and until now none of my efforts have solved my problem.  I would rather not mess around with things without the consent of that time to avoid serious problems with my computer.  Just to be clear, I'm running the right version of flash player with the correct settings and it does not work on some sites (each site but youtube).

I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    I found the solution... all I had to do was manually add the ".exe" file name extension, and I was able to run the Setup program. I'm surprised that it worked... I really thought that there was a problem with the file.

  • I can't get Adobe Flash Player to date on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari, even if it is closed. I tried all the suggestions on the Adobe site and always get the same results. Thanks for any help

    I can't get Adobe Flash Player to date on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari, even if it is closed. I have tried every thing on the Adobe site to solve the problem with the same results still. I went to the site of both Mac and said to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine as a new Mac in February, but it will not update now, so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

    By clicking the red dot on the safari window it minimizes, but leave the program running.

    To exit Safari completely, open Safari by clicking on the dock icon, and then choose Safari > Quit Safari to the upper left of the screen.

  • FLASH PLAYER 11 WORKS DO NOT AT ALL

    Cannot use Flash Player at all today, 01/01/2011.  Tried to download it again from the adobe site, he says that the installation is complete, the large 'F' does NOT turn as it does when the installation is successful.

    I see many complaints in the last hours 13 other people aren't able to use Flash Player either.

    Have no problems prior use, using Winxp PRO with IE8, have the latest version installed, shows in Add/Remove programs.  I have a Flash icon in the Panel also and can enter without problems and checked all that, nothing in the store in the countryside.

    This is a virus of the day.  There was Ms. Updates published on 13/12/2011, having said that there are vulnerabilities using Active X, but I was able to use Flash Player very well 2 days ago.  Yesterday afternoon, I was not able to see some of my sound videos, he says to download Flash Player, clicked on it, looked like he was trying to intall, it ended.  Went WAA, get Adobe's site to download Adobe Flash Player and reinstall it again, but also get time-out errors.  If so many people have problems with Flash Player, which would make sense, everyone trying to reinstall Flash Player.

    Reinstall of Flash Player, says he succeeded, but the big 'F' does not turn as it does always once installation is complete.

    Noticed a problem with a sound video yesterday, impossible to read anything of You Tube, said to install Flash Player.

    Is this a virus that no one knows yet?

  • Flash Player won't install no - OSX 10.9.5 w / Firefox 34.0.5

    I know this question has been asked before, but since nobody seems to have an answer for that I have no other choice than to ask again.

    I have problems reading scores on a gaming site. The game went very well and I could connect successfully, but my scores are is never were on the list of players. The help section of the site suggests to uninstall / reinstall Flash Player. I had problems with Flash elsewhere so I thought I'd give it a try. The uninstall was successful, but now will not reinstall Flash. Now instead of a malfunction of the Flash Player, I have no Flash Player at all.

    The installation process takes place as it should - download setup in my office, I open it, I get the "Adobe Flash Player install" window, I double-click the icon, I wonder if I'm "sure I want to open it", I click on 'Open', I get my administrator password, then comes the problem. The next window popup has a black background for about 1/2 second you see the words 'Install to retrieve' and a loading bar progress, then the words disappear and you end up looking at the black box of the void. That's all.

    I have Ghostery, Lightbeam and HTTPS Everywhere Firefox modules. I disabled Ghostery through this process.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, good news. I solved it. And he's not weird that no one has suggested this.

    Nested deep, deep, in the help section is the following:

    Still problems?

    If you are still experiencing difficulties installing Adobe Flash Player, try to download the installer directly from the following websites:

    Adobe has apparently not a copy of its own software that works? Ridiculous but true. In fact, you will need to download it from the Web site of your browser.

  • After installing the new version of flash player firefox only charge for most of the sites basic html

    After you install the new version of Adobe Flash Player yesterday, Firefox would not charge most of the sites except in basic html, as I understand is the right term for all the lists in the text, especially on the left side of the screen. They open in Google Chrome and IE. I tried to restore to two days ago, today I uninstalled Firefox and re-installed, I have tried several possible solutions in the support forums, but nothing has worked. I prefer Firefox but it will fall if I can't get this resolved quickly. Note: I only start from the principle that the new flash player was to blame as it happened immediately after. I don't really know yet what he does, it's just one of those things that appears and says he has to be upgraded to the latest version from time to time.

    The Flash player plugin allows certain types of media to be displayed in the web pages. Otherwise, you get an empty rectangle. Usually Flash would not hinder Firefox to load style sheets, images and other elements that add to the raw text of the page.

    You can try the reset function. It duplicates some data key of your active settings in a new file, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins (including Flash) will still be active, but may be disabled manually if you wish.

    More information in this article: Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons. Please note that an old parameter file appears on your desktop. You might want to keep this around for awhile in case you need to save something from him

    Does make a difference?
