Flash Player Works for Some Users, Not Others

I have recently upgraded my home computers to Windows 7 (64 bit). My kids all have standard user accounts. I have installed Adobe Flash Player as an administrator. It works for me (administrator) and some of my kids (standard accounts) but not for all of my kids. As far as I can tell, the kids' accounts are identical, so I can't figure out why some of them can use Flash Player and some cannot on the same computers.
For the accounts where Flash Player does not work, we get a prompt to install the latest version (which, of course, is already installed). Even when I try to reinstall it (using my administrator password), the problem is not resolved. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, with no success.
I use both Windows Parental Controls and Windows Family Safety for my kids' accounts. All four kids have the same settings. I tried turning these off temporarily to see if that would make a difference but it did not.
I am baffled. Help!

Hi, very confusing, I agree. Here is a link to a thread that the poster found success.http://forums.adobe.com/message/2476140#2476140 (BruceTR)

Microsoft's toll free # for IE8 issues, which this is. Following is a great forum by Microsoft; covers Win7, Vista & XP and
add'l topics. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories
Also, the link for the live one safety scan by Microsoft: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
Hope this information helps you. IE7 and IE8 have more security and therefore use is restricted, i.e. Administrative and User classifications, etc.

Flash Player works for Administrator but not other users

I have Flash Player 10.2.153.1 installed and I am running Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Internet Explorer 8. If I am logged in as the Administrator I have no problem watching video previews from the Odeon and other similar websites. However, if logged on a Standard user account Odeon film previews cannot be seen - all I get is a blank white viewing box with a small square box in the top left corner with the colours red, green and blue in it (it is too vague to make out what the logo is even when zoomed in). The inability to watch video clips for Standard users seems to be random as some sites work while others do not? Can anyone help solve this problem? Why do I have this problems for the standard user accounts on some websites but not at all for the Administrator account on any website ???

Multi-row "Drag and Drop" works for some users, not others

      Background: We are working on Win7 SP1 clients, Project Prof. 2010, SP2
      A couple of users have reported that they cannot move ("drag") multiple selected rows in a task sheet, only a single row at a time. Other MS Project users around them (and myself) can move multiple rows with the "Drag"
feature. "Drag and Drop" is selected in the "Options/Advanced" section of both their local global template and the Enterprise Global.
     To my knowledge, the multiple row selections contain no collapsed summary tasks, in case that might be an issue.
     I'm suspecting some Windows setting is amiss on the offending clients, but wanted to see if anyone else had seen this behavior before in Project Prof. 2010.
     Thanks!

    Thanks for the response, Shiva!
    User community is on MS Project 2010 (14.0.7011.1000) SP2, MSO (14.0.7128.1000)
    To reproduce the problem, MS Project user will select multiple task rows by selecting first row, then holding MB1, and "sliding" to the last row desired. The problem manifests itself by NOT turning the cursor into the "four-arrow cross"
after selection is accomplished. If only one row is selected, the ability to move that row alone is available.
     Again, only a couple of users (that have called me!) are seeing it. Their officemates are not having an issue.

10g Write back works for some users, not others

Dear Gurus,
I have a strange problem with the Write Back in my system. We use Write-back pretty extensively and have maybe 10-20 separate reports, updating a number of tables.
We have been using this system for almost a year with no problems - Myself (logging in as Administrator) and a member of the Business team, logging in as herself (a member of the Presentation Server Administrator Group).
We now require two more Business power-users to use our Write-back reports. I have added them to the Presentation Server Administrator group. However, when they try to enter values into ANY of the write-back reports, they get the following error;
An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists...
*State: HY000. Code 10058 [NQODBC]... A general error has occurred. [nQSERROR 27024] The EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement must specify a physical SQL statement to execute (HY000)*
SQL issued: EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL "GL Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool"
I do not understand why the write back is working without error for my own user, the Admin user and a member of the business team who is in the Presentation Server Administrator group, but not for two new additions to that group.
I have checked that the Presentation Server Admin group is granted on the "Enable/Manage Write Back" privilege and on the Execute SQL privilege.
Any ideas what else I could check?
Thanks,
A.

Hey Amith,
Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case. The system is pretty much wide open, apart from the Write pack privilege, which only the Presentation Server Administrator group has access to.
I'm having another of my Presentation Server Administrators who has been in the group forever try to use the write back.
There's no specific connection pool or database level permissions for write back, is there? And there's no specific permissions which need to be set on the xml template files?
Thanks,
A.

IMAP Working for some but not others

I am having the issue of imap working for some users and not others. I have for instance 2 users both accounts the same. One account I can link via imap the other I can not. Both have the same group memberships, both are in the same post office. Everyone has imap access I have no restictrions set. Any idea where I should begin to look.

Flash Player works for one user only

Running IE7 under Vista. Have one other user on laptop with Vista. I am the Administrator.Since downloading latest version of Flash Player it will work on my log in but not when the other user is logs in.
No error message. Simply all Active X items appear as box with a red X. Have checked the Security settings for both users on IE appear the same.
Tried Adobe Support chat service but all they could do was direct me to a Forum.
Any help will be appreciated.

This has come up multiple times over the last few months. There has been a solution posted somewhere in this forum, but I don't remember what it was.
Try searching the forum for "limited user" or such; hopefully you will find it.

Select list works for some users not for others

Apex 3.2, Oracle 10g
I have a page with a select list. (other select lists work fine) This view is a based on a view over a dblink with the chain being (public synonym -> dblink view -> dblink real view )
One user logs into the Apex app and the select list populates.
I log in to the app, either through the developer login or the app login, navigate to the same page and the select list does not populate.
What can cause this in Apex or is it a database issue.
Someone said it may be a rights issue, but I thought all Apex users appeared as the same 'user' to the database.
Miscellaneous points: The app authentication is via LDAP/OID and I can get the select list code work in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Sam

not sure what you are asking
It is a "Select List"
The sql is
select x d, x r
from view
wher x is not null
order by 1
The view is a synonym in the application schema, points to a view on the same database instance (different user) which points to the real view via dblink to a different database instance.

MAM application is not working for some users

Hi All,
Tha MAM application is not working for some users.Different users have different workcenters other than that I dont see any other change. When I run MAM30_090_GETLIST in the backend I can see the no of customized users.But I cant see same no of users in the MEREP_207 table for the Syncbo MAM30_090 and strcture id TOP in the middleware. There is a data when I checked under worklist monitor for that user. But neither the MAM application nor MAM data is downloading to that device.
If I use different user on the same device I can see the MAM application and MAM data.
What could be the wrong in this case. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Mobile Client:MI 70 SP 15 Patch 0 Build 200802280918
Middleware:SAP NetWeaver 2004s with Patch leve 15
Backend:SAP ECC 6.0
Application:MAM 3.0
Thanks and Regards,
Ameer.

Hi,
from your description the source of your issue is quite obvious: some of the MAM users configured in spro are not configured properly.
For T01 SyncBos the number of TOP records in merep_207 MUST be the same as number of headers returned by an appropriate getList FM in the backend.
You need to solve this before you can go any further.
Reason why a record is not recorded in MEREP_207 - getdetail failed for whatever reason. So execute MAM30_ML_getdetail for each of the users that is not replicated in the middleware and check if there are errors in RETURN table. If there is no error - one of the common reason for replication fail is when there are records in item tables that have duplicate primary keys.

Larissa Limarova

Outlook Anywhere not working for some users

Hi All,
I am having a strange issue today with a customer -
Outlook Anywhere has been enabled on their Exchange 2010 environment, but it doesn't work for some users.
Using the ExRCA I have been able to identify the following error on the users who are unable to connect:
"Testing the MAPI Mail Store endpoint on the Exchange server."

Mailbox logon returned ecLoginPerm 1010. You don't have the correct permissions to log in to the mailbox.

On users that are able to connect it goes through the ExRCA without any issues.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Adobe flash wont work for general users in Citrix

I have a Citrix Xenapp 5 farm 2008 32 bit and I am trying to get Adobe flash 10 player working for general users. It works fine for admins though not when logging a citrix session as a general user (if I give that user admin rights it is fine). I have used the full edition of the installer with different versions and they all dont work for users.
I ensured that ie security was turned off for both users and computers.
gave read access to some registry enteries.
gave everyone group write access to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed.
I am using the citrix receiver.
it is not being streamed.
I excluded the group policies for the test user and still same issue.
I have tried different versions of flash and nothing has worked. I disabled the gpos for the user and still the same issue. the RSOP didn't have anything that stood out. there was nothing in the event log which gave any errors about it.
Seems to be a permissions issue somewhere.
Any ideas appreciated.

Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

Flash player worked for months. But today suddenly the video part stopped working. So I have audio and a blank screen. This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating system
Browser
Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
Web Page URL
Steps to reproduce
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5 video - http://bit.ly/ahzL63

Why does the flash player work on some website but not others??

I have the new flash player, and for the most part the player will work on some web sites. However I like to be on myspace and it says that I have to install the new version of the flash player. However I ALREADY have the new verison. There are other site that I go to as well and it tells me the same thing. what is going on and how can I fix it. I am at my wits ends right now and I dont know what to do. Can any one help me please

I had the same issue when I had created Flash Paper items. I had found the a solution on my opinion.
http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
you actually need a Flash Movie Player and not Flash Player. they are different. the only issue is that Adobe does not support this anymore.
so what I did is placed the EXE file of Flash Movie Player found on the link above on my server, made a note to my viewers that Flash Movie Player is required to view the documents.
I found this solutlion when my boss asked why he could not view any of the Flash Paper Documents

Sharepoint Foundation - search working for some users (or computers), but not others

Hi all,
We have doozy of a search problem with SharePoint Foundation 2010 that I'm hoping someone can help with.
We have an application that is listening on port 14197 and search is working just fine, but only for one or two users.
If I do a search while logged in using the account we set the application up with then the search works fine and it returns records as expected.
If I use a different account - one that has full control over the app, then the exact same search fails with the following message:
We did not find any results for 06BSL.
Suggestions:
Ensure words are spelled correctly.
Try using synonyms or related searches.
Try broadening your search by searching from a different site.
Additional resources:
Get additional search tips by visiting Search Help
If you cannot find a page that you know exists, contact your administrator.
We've done everything we can think of, including several procedures to create new search accounts, replace databases, etc.
Nothing has helped and all of the info we can find online is in relation to getting search working when it doesn't work at all. In our case it is working, but only for some users. We thought it might have been a permissions issue, but not matter
what permissions we seem to give to test accounts they still don't work. We've set up a test account, for example, that is a member of the 'application owners' group, but cannot produce any search results with it.
The SharePoint Foundation server is running on Windows 2008 Server Foundation, with a separate SBS 2003 DC.
Any help most appreciated.

Hi Alex, thanks for your response and apologies about the late reply - didn't realise someone had responded until now!
Agreed that this looks like a permissions issue, but we're stumped as to what it could be. The 'test' account displays this problem - if we try and search on 06BSL
we get no results, but it does appear that this account has full control over this document (see below).
Note that the 'Manage Permissions' page presents a comment 'This list item inherits permissions from its parent. (Customer QA & Product Management)' which is what we're
expecting.
The indexing schedule is set to 5 minutes.
Appreciate your help with this, as we've spent a huge amount of time on this problem but don't seem to be any closer to a resolution.
Cheers,
Damian

Quicktime working for some but not for others

Hello all,
I'm developing this website and it displays videos in quicktime format, but it's just not working for some people... It just won't play for some reason I just don't know 'cause I couldn't make the error happen to me and got no good help from others...
This is what's happening: @ www.thebrooklynbrothers.com/ clicking on "work, work and more work", then clicking on MEDIA and then FILM, it should display the QT movie and the user could play it, but for some reason it just shows up the QT logo and nothing more, as some people are telling me... could somebody check this out to see if it happens to you as well and tell me what could be the problem or any other details of the error so I can figure out what it is?
if you want to check a sample URL it loads from there, check this one: http://www.thebrooklynbrothers.com/new/portfolio/contentloader.php?file=cnneraq.mov&filetype=2
Thanks you so much for your time! ANY help would be greatly appreciated! I'm desperate right now!

I'm having a similar problem with videos uploaded onto my website. It all plays fine through Firefox and Internet Explorer on my other PC, but on this one (Win XP), I just get a blank page after it's finished loading. No video box or error mesage. Just lots of white space. I've checked all my settings, and have QT as my default player, but still nothing. Have also downloaded the latest QT updates. Is there something I'm missing in Windows or Internet Explorer? I don't have any problems with it on my Mac.
Thanks,
Lucy

Outlook autodiscover is not working for some users in coexistence

Hi
We are doing exchnage 2013/2010 coexistence
Most everything is ok BUT outlook autodiscover is not working for some exchange 2010 users now that 2013 is in the front!!!. We end up creating the profiles manually. It has affected some but not all the users.
I followed the instructions here but it didn't help.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/tips_from_the_inside/archive/2012/01/11/autodiscover-fails-for-one-or-more-users.aspx
Using outlook 2010, 2013, patches, .... didn't make a difference
Would you please help?
Thank you

Hi
If it is affecting only few handful of users i could suspect a mailbox corruption and would recommend to move mailbox and see the results.
Also you can try below
You need to set the values MaxFieldLength, MaxRequestBytes & MaxTokenSize to below on Exchange 2010 CAS servers as well as Exchange 2013 CAS servers
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
Name: MaxFieldLength
Type: DWORD
Value: 65534
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
Name: MaxRequestBytes
Type: DWORD
Value: 16777216
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
Name: MaxTokenSize
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 48000
Just reboot the servers once its done and you will be good to go.
