Adobe Flash Broke my LabVIEW Help

Recently, all of a sudden whenever I opened up LabVIEW Help (such as right-clicking on a function/VI and selecting Help), the Help window would appear, the left pane would be filled in, but the right pane would be blank. The inner part of the title bar would be white, and the Help would simply freeze. The only way to resolve it was to force-kill LabVIEW Help via Task Manager, which also quit LabVIEW (even though it wasn't frozen). I couldn't figure out what was happening until I decided to run FileMon and saw that at the very end of loading the Help window, the Adobe Flash folder was being accessed. OK, this sort of makes sense, since it's displaying an HTML file, but it also doesn't make sense since it wasn't displaying Flash content. But why would that freeze the Help window? Flash worked just fine in my browser. I did a complete uninstall of Flash, and my LabVIEW Help magically started working again.
Anybody else seen this? FYI: I had Flash 10 installed. There had been an update to Flash a couple of weeks ago, I think, but I'm almost (99%) positive that I had used Help during that time without seeing this freeze. Haven't the courage yet to try installing it again. 

Thanks for the feedback. I had to install Flash again since Pandora uses it (and I love Pandora). This time LabVIEW Help did not freeze up, and when I had FileMon running I saw that the LabVIEW executable was not accessing the Adobe folder (whereas before it was doing it right before the Help window froze up). Bizarre.

  • Adobe flash player and labview

    Hi
    How can I make labview interact with adobe flash player and read variables?
    Adobe flash player is displayed by internet explorer and I'm using Adobe Flash player 10, with labview 8.2

    I have not checked this out as I leave the Googling to you. But I will not be suprised if adobe do not have an activex player you can use for free.
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • Re:Difficulty to Download/Install Adobe Flash Player! Please help me out!

    I cannot download/install Adobe Flash Player on Mozilla Browser and I really need it to stream local National TV Channel for news etc etc.and I couldn't find it on Google Play neither
    I have been trying for a long time but cannot manage on my own so would appreciate it very much if you could help me sort this out to finally manage to download/install Latest Adobe Flash Player. As a matter of fact I have been using your Browser as default one on my laptop for quite a long time and I had never found it difficult to install the Adobe Flash Player there or even update it from time to time! Really cannot understand why I'm finding all this difficulty now to install on my Samsung S4 device which I bought very recently! Again thanks for helping me out and please explain to me in simple language what steps to take to finally manage to install this blessed Adobe Flash Player! Wishing you as always the BEST for future Success for Mozilla Browser & thanks very much for the latest Version of a fantastic browser. Fondest regards to all The Team at Mozilla!

    Adobe no longer supports Flash on Android. Adobe doesn't recommend this (this versions have vulnerabilities) but if you really want it, you can try installing an old version from their archives - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player%20archives (you'll have to scroll down to find the Android versions).

  • IMac Flash Freeze! Videos won't play after updating Adobe Flash Player. Send help (and donuts).

    Last night I was prompted to download the newest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing it Hulu and Youtube will not play videos. On Hulu there is a "Plug-In Failure" message. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, turned it off, turned it back on, uninstalled and reinstalled again, searched on message boards, turned it off for a long time and then turned it back on, refreshed the pages, and now I'm just drinking lots of coffee and pleading for help.
    Hulu is my only t.v.!!!!

  • Wheres my Adobe Flash Player gone? HELP

    Hi
    about 2 weeks ago my flash player disappeared off my computer and now when i try to download a new version it refuses. Help me please (mother can't go another week without catching up with downton)
    What to do?
    Thanks in advance

    I would not trust any non-Adobe site with the several malware applications disquised as Flash installers making the rounds. The last PowerPC version of Flash Player can be downloaded directly from Adobe:
    Flash Player 10.1
    Installers for all major platforms are included in the Zip archive.

  • I can't get Adobe Flash to download.  Help

    I can't download the Adobe Flash Player; it just won't download when I try.  Any suggestions? Also, What are tags and how are they helpful?

  • Hello- I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my iMac and cannot download the most current version of Adobe Flash Player.  Please help!

    Hello- I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my iMac and cannot download the most current version of Adobe Flash Player.  I even uninstalled the old Flash version but this did not resolve the issue.  Could somebody please assist?  Thank you. 

    Hello- I was able to resolve the issue after clicking on the top right hand corner that shows the recent downloads (it has that down arrow).  I realized that I had tried downloading the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager about 7 times, but still needed to click on the file and install!  So I erased all the duplicates and installed one of the Flash Player Install Managers and it finally worked!  Yay!

  • Cannot install Adobe Flash plugin--FAQ no help

    Installation instructions in FAQ are no longer current at Adobe's download site. Downloaded correct version of Flash and ran install program.
