Black box popping up
Everytime I type in a text box or click an icon, it becomes highlighted/outlined by a black box. The black box will often skip around the page or remain in the same spot once the window is closed. Any ideas on how to make it go away?
Ok it is definitely VoiceOver because the computer is speaking to me. Command + F5 didn't work and I tried playing with various settings. Any other tips you can give me to make this thing shut up??

When i download adobe flash player a black box pops up and it doesn't work.
I have downloaded adobe flash player multiple times. I have a windows 7 hp laptop when it gets to the end of the download i click run and a black box appears and the flash player doesn't work. what should i do?
Hi albinaaa,
Thank you for confirming the drivers are up to date. I apologize for the confusion in terminology. We refer to the installer downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer as the online installer because it is simply an installer shim, less than 2MB that then downloads and installs Flash Player silently. This requires users to be 'online' for the installation process to work. What we refer to as the offline installers are the full installers (roughly 15 - 18 MB) that you download and then install Flash Player, which does not require an internet connection as nothing is downloaded silently in the background during installation.
As I mentioned before, we have received these reports of the online installer displaying without text, however, we have not been able to reproduce, and therefore, the reason I asked you to try the offline installer, since we have not received these reports with the offline installer.

Safari/itunes pop-up black boxes, please help!
In the past week I have started getting small black boxes popping up all the time with the safari symbol which says "itunes 25 new releases". If I click on it, it goes to a web page with newly released music for sale but no way to contact or unsubscribe. What is going on? How can I get rid of these?
It has iTunes logo on screen and hasn't changed. Just before restore completes it pops up with network timed out? I really don't have a clue what to do. Would be so great full if someone could help?laptop is windows xp

In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection. The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor. Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box? It is driving me bonkers.Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"

Macbook Pro Black boxes across screen then crashes
I have a Macbook Pro that I got 2 months ago. A couple days ago it froze and had black boxes all across the screen, then it crashed. Today when I started it up after I logged in while it was loading the black boxes popped up again, then it crashed. And when I tried to restart it it just beeped. The battery was around 50% so it wasn't dead. Its been fully updated and I haven't made any changes to it. Please help if there's anything I can do without taking it in

This morning when i turned on my TV there was a large black box covering the lower half of the screen. I am not able to see anything through the box (no picture, menu, anything). I tried resetting the box, but it just came back and am not sure what I need to do to get rid of it.
I have the same problem. I have turned off the closed captioning on the STB and the TV. The black box pops up only on certain channels - mostly while watching football games. It won't go away until I unplug the stb and switch to a non sports channel. I called tech support and they reset the set top box. But the problem still exists. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I've never had this before and I don't know how it happened.
Everywhere I type there is a moving black text box. As well on the computer screen there is a black box with text that describes exactly what i am doing and a voice that reads it out.
Extremely annoying. How do I get rid of it???Turn off VoiceOver in the Universal Access or Accessibility pane of System Preferences.

How can i scroll vertically without the little black box?
Hello,
I need to review alot of pdf documents with adobe reader 9.0 or acrobat pro, and i need to be able to move forward and backward fast alot using both the mouse wheel and the scroll bar. I'm having a problem with this.
When i click "show one page at a time"-button and I use the scroll bar in the right, reader doesnt scroll the through the pages, but instead shows an idiotic little black box on the right thats too small to see pretty much anything from.
If i use the "scroll through pages continuously"-button, the scroll bar works normally, but the mouse wheel works too slow.
Using the reader in either way feels like running with a ball and chain in my leg, and I do really believe im not the only one.
Despite of hours of searching, trial and error I've somehow managed to miss how to remove that black pop-up-thing and scroll normally, when using the "show one page at time".
Please tell me I can scroll normally with scroll bar while being able to move fast with the wheel, and how do I do it?Thanks.
What i mean in brief:
In adobe reader you cannot live-scroll with the scroll bar when using the "show one page at a time" setting, but instead it shows a little thumbnail-window on the right. The other setting makes mouse wheel too slow to be useful.
A scroll bar that doesn't live-scroll is probably one of the most horrible "features" you can have in a program. Since it's in a program as common as adobe reader, im guessing there's alot of frustrated googling going on about it.No answers around though. -
Why am I getting black boxes and lines in Facebook chat area?
I just installed the latest version of Firefox as well as the latest version of my graphics card drivers, and Adobe Flash Player. When I open Facebook, I get black boxes and lines all over the left side of the screen where my chat contacts are. I am wondering why this is happening and if there is a current fix to it, as it is rather annoying. When I hover my mouse next to or over the black boxes and lines, they move and continue to pop up elsewhere but only on the friends/chat area.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

How do I add a black box over text?
Hello,
I was wondering if that with Premiere Elements 9 if you could add a black box over text to make it stand out more because of the content I have in the background. I have tried various menus in Premiere Elements 9 but to no avail. If you know how to do this please help me out!
-ComputeComputeGamin
Consider a more subtle effect to make the text pop out more. Have you tried applying one of the Styles to the text in the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Titler?
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

This first happened today. When it did it, I noticed that the toolbar at the top had changed. I right clicked and got my bookmarks and navigation bars back. The black box with the title DOWNLOAD ERROR comes up each time I click on Firefox. How do I fix?
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Can Someone Open the Black Box
01. I think I understand RSL usage for the Flex framework and
I think I like the fact that its implementation, for all practical
purposes, remains a Black Box. I can't see inside, but don't need
to since it just works as described in the many Googleable postings
available.
02. Now, however, we migrate to AIR and I challenge you to
find a solid description of the expected behavior in the AIR
environment. [Yes, there is one jira entry, in which some
developer, acknowledging an error in the air-config file adds the
cryptic comment -- "We don't expect most AIR apps to use these
RSLs.".
03. Now someone needs to open that black box so we can
determine how to properly take advantage of the client-side cache
for AIR applications. For that matter, it would be nice to see
concise information concerning the use of Modules in AIR
applications, but I will be so happy if I can just get the
framework modules to work properly.
04. Here is observed behavior from outside the Black Box.
A. Write/test/deploy a Flex Application compiled for use of
dynamic framework RSLs. Put the framework.swz file where the
webserver needs it to be -- and add the framework.swc version just
for the heck of it.
B. It works beautifully, and you can go look in the
client-side cache to see that the files were downloaded when
required -- just as advertized.
C. Write/test/deploy an AIR Application that uses SWFLoader
to launch on-demand exactly the same Application.swf file that was
run above.
D. It is much harder to trace, but the fact that the Module
runs correctly inside AIR is proof that AIR knew how to check the
client-side cache to resolve the links to the framework code, just
perfectly. But, if you are a doubting Tomas, rerun this AIR test
after you delete the framework.swz file from the the client-side
cache and wait for your #2032 error -- it will pop up pretty
quickly.
So, other than by asking the client to run a Flex application
in order to force-download the required framework, what is the
design pattern, best-practice or other direction concerning the
correct way for a pure AIR application to take advantage of
client-side caching of the ever-expanding framework
codebase?Hello Maureen1842,
It sounds like you are able to see the Slide to Unlock screen but there is an outline around Slide to Unlock and it will not slide. From what you describe I'm thinking that Voice Over is enabled on the phone. Try doubletapping Slide to Unlock, that should get you to your home screen. Then go to your settings and disable Voice Over.
Turn VoiceOver on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver

Ive try'd reconfigureing all types of presets in all sorts of combo's its driveing me nuts can anyone esplain ?!?!?
my first command is "open" and it opens my file my second command is copy and the first dialog box opens and states that ( the object "copy" is not currently available ) and as long as its still in the clipboard from building the action after i hit continue it pastes the two objects it said the copy wasn't currently available for ...if the clip board is loaded with other stuf two of those pop up instead, next command is rectangle tool witch seems to work but where I record it is not where it shows up when i play back its in different areas everytime time i play back ,then the next command is shapemodes "crop" function witch cropped ounce then not but left the object i was cropping in lines view instead of pixel preview and rite now it just has the rectangles i made appear with solid white and a black stroke but when i recorded my little rectangles were clear with a small black stroke they're also way off to the side on playback ,then the second dialog box pops up and tells me that the object (?)"reflect" is also currently unavailable but it doesn't matter because they're white anyway's ..... any ways it goes on like that ,I have plenty of time between moves to let the program think....

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.
