Black Screen when trying to view videos that use Flash Player

Hi all,
Sometimes when I'm trying to view videos on Youtube or BBC iPlayer, which use Flash Player, I'll click play and after around 2-3seconds of the video playing, my screen will go black/dark blue and the audio will stop. I'm then forced to hard reset my computer as no keyboard shortcuts work. This is starting to annoy me. Any help would be appreciated.
I have the latest Catalyst, 12.1, the latest Chipset and BIOS. I have even tried re-installing Windows to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling Adobe Flash Player using your official uninstaller and then re-installing and yet I still get this problem.
System Specs;
AMD-FX 4100 Quad Core Processor @ 3.6GHz
8GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM
320GB Samsung SpinPoint HDD
Powercolour Radeon HD 6870 1GB
ASUS M5A97 PRO Motherboard
OCZ Fatal1ty 750W PSU

Your video card should be fine for GPU acceleration, but to rule this out can you try disabling hardware acceleration to see if that helps?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
If this works, please open up a new bug report so we can take a further look. Here's a page that describes what we'll need.

Black Screen When Trying To Play Videos

Hi,
Until recently I have been able to play movies on my iPod touch but after I restored it, I got a black screen whenever I open the video file. It is the proper format as iTunes accepts it and syncs it to the device. If I touch the play button, it shows the pause button for about a second and stops again. I have restored several times but I still get the same problem. I'm using iOS 4.3.3 and a 4th Gen iPod touch. Here are a couple of screenshots:
If I move the top slider to any time in the movie, it shows that scene as an image on the screen but will never play. Any suggestions?

In an attempt to consolidate numerous threads about video problems with Flash Player 11.2.202.228 I've created a new post where I'd like to have people who are still encountering this issue to either post or link to an existing post with their information.

I am getting a black screen while trying to play a game. Help me.

So, I am trying to play a game on my Macbook, from Late 2007, model A1181, OSX 10.6.7
Snow Leopard
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Using an Intel GMA X3100
Now, this problem, I was actually running Leopard and trying to play Warcraft III: Frozen Throne and I was able to play it no problem at all. I reformatted my macbook recently and put in Snow Leopard and I actually played perfectly fine two days ago. I tried to play today, 2 of the times I tried, the screen turns black, but everything is still running, like I was skyping with a friend just to use the voice chat and then it just turned black and I was still able to talk to him. 1 of the times I tried, the computer just restarted itself and I tried looking it up online, but everyone's questions were for Windows on Mac or Macbook Pro and now I'm all out of ideas.

Uh...I actually don't think so because I don't know how to do it. Haha. Can you tell me how to do it? But yeah, I used to play it all the time, and actually I was trying to watch Netflix, and then I full-screened it, and I also got the black screen, so I don't think it's just games anymore. Do you think it could be the fan?? overheating? and as for settings in the game goes, I put it all down, no shadows, uhh I think all medium settings, but yeah nothing is on high for sure.

Why do I get black screen when trying to view a pdf in Safari?

I've re-installed the Adobe plug-in. I know a pdf is downloaded since I can save the black screen then open and actually view the pdf with Preview. So it's there but I can't view it.

The plugin is incompatible. Delete it and relaunch Safari.

Green Screen while trying to watch videos

I have been having an issue with any videos (while playing) being green. On Explore, Facebook, Skype or anything else. If it allows me to watch a video than I do to see if it will eventually turn green but most of the time it wont let me. I thought it was maybe skype because thats where it started happening and than all videos started being green. I tried a few things that were suggested on questions on here but none worked. Any help is much appreciated.

Black screen while trying to install LE8

Installation was close to completion when the screen went black. This is nearly an hour ago and no further progress has occurred. Can't find anything useful in faq or elsewhwhere.
Any ideas? Haven't touched the Mac in question yet.

Final update.
Problem appears to have been caused by some Apple Loops which may have been corrupted. Anyway, they were present in the Loops folder, but didn't appear in GarageBand.
Simply ditching those didn't lead to a clean install however, so A reinstall of GarageBand was carried out, followed by repairing permissions and installing LE8; cleanly this time.
Remains to be seen what happens when my partner re-installs the Jam Packs and 3rd part Loops.

I have tried to view videos created in premiere elements 10 and I get the following message: "this file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. When it opens there is a red screen in the monitor panel with Korean writing which also appears in the place of each clip in the video. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere elements 10, but that did not have any effect on the video. Do you have any suggestions? I researched codec, but do not understand them at all.

In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
that appears at the top of this forum.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

F.E.A.R. 2 black screen while using Soundblaster X-Fi

This is my second attempt to get some support for a problem that is plaguing many trying to play F.E.A.R 2 with a Soundblaster X-Fi. We have been on the official forums for WBGames now for the past two weeks asking for help. Many were able to find solutions by updating their codecs however there are many of us that still cannot get into the game. WBGames official response it as follows...
Dear, xxx
Regarding your sound acceleration error and the sound cards you have used, we apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced.
At the moment, we have been noticed that certain Creative sound cards (X-Fi, Sound Blaster and Audigy) and Realtek are presenting incompatibility issues with the F.E.A.R. 2 application. Unfortunately, Creative Labs have not yet released a patch to solve this situation, as other companies like Nvidia have worked on.
F.E.A.R. 2 is designed to function with Windows XP/Vista compatible graphics and sound cards. Drivers for these devices are provided by Windows itself or the respecti've card manufacturers and may occasionally result in incompatibility problems beyond our control.
If there is anything else we can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to contact us by email at [url=mailto:[email protected]">[email protected] m[/url] or by phone 080-0664-9456 (in Germany) during the hours of EST :00 pm - 0:00 pm, PST: 0am- 8pm MON-FRI.
Thank you for contacting Warner Brothers and have a great day.

I thought that someone with creative labs would be interested in either responding or releasing some kind of a statement in regards to this.
The current problem for us is when we try to launch the game a small animated orb runs at the bottom right of the screen while the game loads. At the end of the animation we hear a small chime and the screen goes black as though it is about to load the intro videos. But we get nothing. The screen remains black. I have exhausted all of their solutions, I have updated drivers and tried the latest beta drivers from Creative. I have removed, replaced, and updated codecs. Video card drivers are updated, etc.
Basically we are faced with the following dilema. We can disable the sound card in Windows and the game plays however with no sound. We can run the game in safe mode which manually disables the sound card and the game plays but with no sound. Leave the sound card enabled and run the game in normal mode and we get a black screen.
PLEASE, can someone with Creative Labs respond to this? We are looking for answers and would very much like to play this game.Message Edited by djdouglas on 02-20-2009 09:39 [email protected]

Pardon me but i'm looking your Quad SLI setup a potential culprit to your problems. Have you tried disabling SLI mode to see if the problem can be resolved?
That was my first thought when I encountered this problem. I took the steps troubleshooting video. Disabled SLI, Physically removed one video card. Updated drivers, etc. I am currently running the 82.06WHQL drivers which are suppose to be enhanced for F.E.A.R.2 and other games.
My next step was to try uninstalling codecs as their support team had suggested for people running into issues with the demo version (which btw worked perfectly for me). There were tons of reponses by the devs and community managers before the release of the game in response to people having issues (these same issues) on the demo. So they released a patch the day before the release of the game and when everyone installed the game the patch automatically installed. So for me and many others that enjoyed a smooth gameplay in the demo our rigs are now not working with the official release.
Since release we have yet to see a response or fix or suggestion from a dev. There have been many others in the community that have helped each other out by posting their solutions. For most updating their codecs using Klite or Ace Mega codec pack has fixed their problem but for a select few of us these solutions have not worked.
Basically I can launch the game successfully in safemode which disables sound. I can also disable the sound card and launch the game successfully although without sound. The codec that has seemed to be effecti've when replaced by others is the Microsoft IMA ADHCP codec. However for me I can disable that codec and get a hardware accelration error but still get a black screen. Re enable it and get black screen with no error. So I do not believe this to be the issue plaguing me. Ultimately it is coming down to a conflict with my sound board and the game.

???? How do I power up my iPad? My iPad won't power up. It just stays a black screen. Tried the start up button, the home button, pressing them down and holding.

Could be the battery is completely drained. Use the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Let it charge for at least an hour. Then, while it is still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If the device restarts let it remain on the charger until the battery indicates 100%. If it still will not turn on Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
