Are there brightness/contrast controls in Flash Player?

Dear Anyone.
I use Flash Player to watch streaming content on a bunch of websites. It's great when the video's been well made but on some of the websites it's VERY dark.
Are there TV-style brightness/contrast controls anywhere within any of the Flash Player interfaces, so I can brighten the picture up a bit? Or is there any other way of doing it - the monitor controls seem to brighten the area AROUND the picture, off the screen, not the streaming picture itself.
Yours hopefully

As was explained to me, the latest version of Flash Player, with Protected Mode disabled, is the same as version "10.3.whatever," the recommended work-around, in terms of basic security updates.

To the extent possible, we maintain Flash Player 10.3 with critical security fixes in Flash Player 11.4.  There is a functional difference, in that new features are not present.
My concern with recommending people disable ProtectedMode via mms.cfg, is that that preference will persist forever and it's extremely unlikely that the average persons is going to remember to undo that preference at some point in the future.  We see sandboxing as a critical component of effectively mitigating an ever-evolving class of sophisticated security threats.  We're mostly ahead of the threat curve at the moment with sandboxing, but attackers will ultimately adapt and up the ante at some point.  If that day comes and a large population of users has sandboxing disabled, that would be an unfortunate outcome, and something we'd like to avoid.  To that end, we've recommended Flash Player 10.3, because it is maintained (but will eventually be deprecated) from a security standpoint, and because it prevents that persistent preference from being set. "
The important thing is to remember to re-enable Protected Mode by deleting "ProtectedMode=0" from the mms.cfg file after installing the latest version of Flash Player.  (It can always be added again, as I have done, when the newest version continues to cause problems.)

  • "the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

    I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
    I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe).  and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered".  Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems.  For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins.  I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards.  However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager.  Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background.  Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
    For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost  identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various  iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final  editions of version 9).
    First I tried the standard support here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
    Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open).  This did not work.  I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat".  This didn't work either.  However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
    A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
    I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
    For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
    I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account.  If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
    I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
    This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key.  This confirmed that this was the problem.  I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry.  Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself.  I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
    The solution:
    Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key.  I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid.  Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
    1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe").  You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
    2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
    3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
    4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add".  Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
    5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
    6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top.  You will see that their is no "Current Owner".  This is what we will now fix.
    7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators).  Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects".  Then click Ok.  You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
    8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
    9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions).  To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more.  If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it).  In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
    Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem.  Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer.  Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

    They will stay on the screen.  However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users.  It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error.  This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
    I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others.  Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista).  If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon".  For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot.  First of all to just show Registry events.  Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable.  The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results.  And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess.   When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
    Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable.  e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

  • Brightness/contrast controls have stopped responding

    Brightness/contrast controls have stopped responding in IPHOTO

    Is there a question? If there is, please bear in mind: before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • Is there a fix for a Flash Player compatibility problem?.

    My computer is a imac g4 1.25 Ghz 17 inch flat panel running OS X 10.4.11 and can no longer view anything on the internet that uses the newest version of flash player.  I have tried to upgrade to that version but it won't work on my computer. When I try to download it I get this message "Devices with powerpc processors are no longer supported." Is there a fix for this?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
    It works for me.

  • ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered - no solutions work

    I am getting the "ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" when I try to install 11 on IE9 (Windows 7 64-bit).  I have tried everything that has been suggested in other posts and forums to no avail.  This is driving me crazy and hindering me from work.  Can someone please help?  Thank you!

    I just had this issue and have been searching and searching for a way to fix this issue. I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and this was happening with IE 9. But I have found the solution.
    Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html and follow these instructions. This worked for my system and I was able top install the newest flash with no problems.
    Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
    Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
    Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
    Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
    Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
    Both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
    Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
    Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
    After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
    Install Flash Player from the Flash Player download page.
    To confirm that your installation succeeded, visit the About Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that reads "Adobe Flash Player Successfully Installed."

    Please help.

    Hi, Did you use the Administrator Account? If you received that message it is usually a Permissions Issue.
    We have had several reports this past week of a Virus(AntiVirus8 or AV8) that can set a Kill-bit on the very Registry Key that FP uses for that ActiveX Control.
    You may want to look and see if this is perhaps the problem. This needs to be ruled out first before we proceed, because if that key has the Kill-bit, then it wouldn't matter what you do.

  • The activex controls for flash player could not be registered

    the activex controls for flash player could not be registered
    i have had this problem for a while and cannot seem to get around it please post anyreliable suggestions

    Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
    The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
    Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed.  I've tried:
    1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
    2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc.  The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
    3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
    4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
    5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
    6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
    None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error.  I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
    Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?

  • Is there a way to EMBED Flash player?

    Hello Earth-lings,
    Good Day!
    First of all, I have created a website for a client of mine
    but whenever they wanted to
    visit their 100% Flash website, they can see the 'Flash
    Detection - Download Flash
    Player from Adobe' prompt but they could not install the
    downloaded Flash Player
    as they got an error something like ' You don't have
    privilages . Please contact your

    Is there any way to solve this issue?
    PS. Sorry for the 2x posts.

    But is there a way to embed Flash Player in it so that it's
    easier for
    them - what I meant was the trouble to inform their admin
    just for
    this.

  • Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the iPad?

    Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the ipad2?

    No - flash is not supported, and probably never will be (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and Adobe havn't created a version that works on iOS anyway).
    Browsers such as Skyfire, iSwifter, and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but not all judging by the reviews. You might also find that some sites (especially news sites) have their own apps on the app store which let you get some of the content that you want.

    Not on the ID as such, but you can certainly use parental controls (Sustem Preferences) and/or create a limited access user account  (in Users & Groups). You would have to delete any applications or folders s/he is not allowed to have access to.
