Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and  f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

  • Flash Player Settings Panel Disabled in Chrome

    I am running the latest version of Flash 10.1. I disabled the built in version and installed Flash Player manually. I am executing an application that requires me to "allow" peer to peer traffic.
    However, when the settings panel comes up for me to click to "Allow peer to peer"... I can't click on the button. The dialog box seems disabled.
    Is this a known problem?
    My version of Google Chrome is 5.0.375.127
    Flash Player Version is 10,1,53,64
    Thanks,
    Brian.

    Hi mirage1959, Post back whether your XP is a 64bit or 32 bit system. Also aside from Chrome, what version of IE do you use and do you use any other browsers? Then have you Installed Flash Player in these other browsers?
    In the Chrome browser, what add ons/plugins/extensions are listed?
    With that information, I'll be able to give you some directions. This needs cleared up before you do anything else.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player partial installation - help, please!

    Hi Everyone -
    Can anyone please help with this? Last week I attempted to install Flash Player 10.3.181 (I think that is the tree). All went well until a message came up stating that Settings Manager was still open and that I should close it and try again. At this point a partially installed file was left on my PC. The partial install won't run, and it has overwritten the earlier version. It's a secure file, and it won't allow me to delete it. I've tried using Unlocker, and that won't work either. I can't get to Settings Manager because that needs Flash Player. Further attempts to download result in the same loop taking place - frustrating is a polite way of putting it! I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and Internet Explorer 8. I've just tried downloading version 11, and that gives exactly the same error. Has anyone else come across this problem?

    Go to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550 and download
    the 64-bit uninstaller
    the 64-bit installer(s)
    then close all browser windows and run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer(s).

  • Flash Player Prob. Help Please...

    OK I am not computer savvy in the slighest way, as you will soon find out. I only use Adobe Flash Player to play games and do Farmville on Facebook, and I just got a new computer tower in Jan. so everything was working perfectly. But yesterday all of a sudden I can't do anything because it is telling me in order to play games I must upgrade to Flash 10.1. I can download it and close the download manager but when I go to test it out, it shows that I have nothing. It is not working. I have trouble-shot and uninstalled just to install and uninstalled some more and now I am just flustered about it.
    I am running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8. I believe my operating system is 64bit but when I go to the start menu I see Internet (64 bit) and just Internet which I assume is the 32 bit version. So I am not sure what to do. If someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    OK when I look at tools and managte add ons it shows that shockwave is enabled under currently  loaded add ons. But when I go to the test page it says it was successful but I see no animation or image UGH......
    But under that link you asked about these are the file names..... Flash and FlashPlayerTrust and FlashInstall and LeapfrogConnect.cfg.
    I really hope that is what you needed to know because I am so not technological. Sorry for any confusion.

  • Adobe Flash Player settings inside mx:HTML

    Hi,
    I have been struggleling for 2 days trying to find a solution to this problem. I have an mx:HTML inside an AIR application and isinde this HTML is an address to my server which has a normal php page with the Twilio client for receiving phone calls. Whenever a call comes in, the "Adobe Flash Player Settings" panel pops up asking for authorization for the app to use the microphone.
    The problem is that there is no way to click on "allow" or "Remember" or "Advanced" or nothing except the "Close" button which of course denies the usage of the microphone and stops me on my tracks.
    I am trying this from an iMac. Can anyone please tell me if there is some Air Application setting or mx:HTML setting that can help me with this issue?
    Any other way to achieve this?

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear that.
    The Settings window might pop-up due to insufficient memory allocation, camera/mic adjustments etc.
    Can you please look at this page: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html ?
    Changing the setting might help you.

  • Changing mike in flash player settings

    I have found that the only way I can change the mike in flash
    player settings is to change the default mike in windows (XP),
    change to the mike wanted in flash settings, then re-start the
    flash programme from scratch that I want to use the new microphone
    in. It then starts up withthe microphone I choose.
    I do have another programme which can change the mike simply
    through the flashplayer settings box, so there must be a way.
    Anyone know what the problem is?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alan

    sorry to take so long to reply - I didnt get a noptify, or I
    missed it.
    Yeah, I have a choice of three mikes in my drop-down list,
    one from a logitech webcam, one from a samson mike on a USB
    connection and one from line in via a pre amp. They worked at one
    time selecting them from the list, but not now.
    The webcams, however, do work from the drop-down list. Any
    suggestions welcome...

  • "Adobe Flash Player Settings" appears on page, unable to click "allow"- Help!

    I'm on an language educational website that is powered by Adobe Flash. There is a feature on the site where you talk, and the website's microphone records you.

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage dialogue box

    An 'Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage' dialogue box has recently began appearing (since upgrading to latest version of FP) whenever I play a vid e.g. on YouTube. It gives a URL (not always the same one) and says it 'is requesting permission to share info on your computer' with two buttons for Allow and Deny. With all the recent concerns about hackers getting in on the back of plug-ins and add-ons such as Flash Player, I've been clicking Deny. Is it safe to 'Allow' and is this part of the Adobe FP software? If its not safe and my computer has been compromised, what can I do to clean my PC? Many thanks.

    You can control the way Flash behaves using the Global Settings Manager. The panel you see there are the actual settings on your own machine. Use the menus on the left to load other panels. The Help files explain what each setting does.

  • Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player.  Does anyone know how to get around this?

    Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player.  Does anyone know how to get around this? I don't know how to wipe the hard drive, and the support online doesn't seem to work.

    As posted previously:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    If installing Leopard the process is similar in some respects.  If you wish to begin anew then after selecting the target disk click on the Options button and select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button.  To install over an existing system do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • The Adobe Flash Player Settings popup is appearing offscreen in my Flex4 app. How do I stop this?

    Hey guys,
    I have a page with some html content and my Flex app in the bottom left hand corner. At one point,  the Adobe Flash Player Settings popup appears, but I can  only just see the top of it, the rest is off screen towards the bottom. I set the height of the application in  the opening application tag, to 240. The whole app is visible in the  HTML page, but for some reason the background colour of the Flex app  goes past its height and width properties. This is probably causing the  Flash Player Settings popup problems right?
    Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the user can interact with  the popup? Thanks for reading.

    Thanks Mike,  Problem continues if I uninstall Adobe Flash

    uses Adobe Flash Player even thought my control panel says the player does

    problem is solved, best, Allen Bealle

    Hi, thanks for the screenshots. Your IE & FF Flash files are correct. However, the FlashPlayer Trust, I don't often see. From what I can tell this was something similar to the current Settings Manager, but for FP(Flash Player) 8 & 9 from Macromedia. I don't know if it is conflicting with the current Settings Manager or not. Cannot get a clarification on that.
    All I can tell you is that most systems that I see have certain Flash files for FF and other browsers and the FlashPlayer Trust is rarely among them. Usually there are 4 Flash files for IE, 4 for FF plus the Flash Player.xpt.
    In the IE add ons, did you find the Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx (vs 10.0.45.2) and Enabled?
    This will be listed as I've typed it except it may or may not list the version #, but everything else will be listed.
    Now on the AVG, do you have the AVG free edition? It and the paid versions also have the LinkScanner, which causes problems. You said you Disabled AVG, did you just right click on the icon in the system tray and disable/turn off/exit?
    Or did you Untick the Resident Shield active?
    The LinkScanner component consists of 2 features and each needs Disabled.
    With Spybot, do you use the Tea Timer?
    Since FP is a browser plug-in, anything added to the browser has to be considered.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage popup from Mafia Wars on Facebook.

    I play Mafia Wars on Facebook. I use Mac OS 10.6.5, Flash Player 10.1, and Firefox 3.6.8. Some time ago I received a popup from Zynga entitled Adobe Flash Player Settings,  Local Storage asking permission to store info on my harddrive and giving me the option to allow or deny the request. However the popup is stuck; that popup will not go away.
    I have contacted Zynga, followed their instructions, and have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player. all with no success. When I play this game on other computers, including PCs, that popup is not there which leads me to the conclusion that the file is on my Mac hard drive somewhere and has nothing to do with the game itself. Please tell me how to find this file so that I may delete it. It spoils my enjoyment of the game because it limits what I can do in the game.
    Thanks loads.

    Hi, I would go to the Global Settings site here:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
    I would click on the website that gave you the popup and delete that website. Perhaps this will clear it since it is stuck.
    When you visit that website again, it will problably ask to store info. Be sure to read about the Website Storage Settings Panel and how it works with the Global Storage Settings Panel.
    Thanks,
    eidnolb
    P.S. If Flash Player is working, there is no need to Uninstall and Install it again. The games and Facebook will try to always tell you something is wrong with Flash Player. Clearly it was working until their pop up stuck, right?

  • Flash Player Settings box Won't Close

    Hi! I'm using windows 7, Internet Explorer. For months now nearly every time I try to watch a video the "adobe flash player settings" box pops up with the "allow/deny" screen. Whichever I click, the box won't go away. The whole video will play with that box right in the middle, blocking the screen. How do I close this box? I can't even move it out of the way.
    I've searched for an answer, but apparently I'm the only one in the world with this problem because I can't find this topic when I search on google or yahoo.

    The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic.  Because there are pixels changing around the dialog, we think that something may be obscuring the dialog when you click, so we don't register it as valid.
    The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer).  The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs.  You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
    This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers.  While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience.  So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
    Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode.  Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.
