Can watch youtube videos w/o a problem, but all I get is a white screen everywhere else

Videos from youtube are the only videos that I can view from my computer.  When I try to view videos from anywhere else (Facebook or anyother website) all I can see is a white screen.  I can usually still hear the audio and sometimes the picture will flash in and out when I move the mouse back and forth across the video.  Anyone have any ideas what my problem might be? I have Internet Explorer 9, windows 7 64 bit system. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same thing going on with my computer.  When I click the vide to play it the screen whites out and I can see shadows of whats on the screen and can hear audio but the screen whites out.  I can watch the video on Youtube's site just no where else.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe flash player, I've run CCleaner, antivirus, checked drivers, gone back to a restore point...
So far nothing's worked.

  • Mac Users: How can I watch YouTube again on Firefox, when for months all I get is a black screen and no controls?

    Beyond frustrated here. I can watch YouTube on Safari (I have a MacBook Pro laptop, OS 10.6.8), but I use Firefox, for everything else, so really need YouTube access on Firefox. I have googled the problem a zillion times and find solutions that do not work.
    Today in several places, including here at Firefox, the instruction is to uncheck the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" box which is found when you right-click (two-finger click on my trackpad) on the black YouTube screen. Then click on Settings, which brings up a display box. In the display box I'm supposed to be able to uncheck the hardware acceleration. And I see it there in front of me.
    But it's dead to my trackpad! The Enable Hardware Acceleration will not uncheck when I click on its tiny box. It's supposed to be active, but nothing I do in that display box works--even the close button. I've refreshed the page, tried clicking the icons on it, nothing works.
    Can you imagine no YouTube for months? It's driving me crazy. PLEASE help, I will be so grateful!
    Thanks~~

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • How do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

    how do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

    Software is always safest directly from the developer or the App Store.
    There are numerous untrustworthy 'update' sites like Cnet & Softonic, & many users won't know that one is to be trusted (so far) but not most of the others.
    Adobe make Flash Player : get it from Adobe.

    What happened yesterday may have been caused by the SOPA protest action that was joined by a lot of sites yesterday and such an action won't happen that often.

  • Installer states it has been installed but all I get is a black screen. What can I do?

    I have an iMac and I installed the Adobe reader to open messages and information.  The installer stated I was finished but all I get is a black screen when i open a page that need the Adobe reader.  What can I do to fix this?

    Download and install AppZapper (it's a free trial)
    Download the offline installer: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Save it, but don't run it yet.
    Quit Safari
    Open AppZapper.
    Go to: Mac HD/Applications
    Dragthe Reader 11 Application to AppZapper from there, and "Zap it".
    Close AppZapper.
    Go to: MacHD/library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the AdobePDFviewer.plugin from there
    Trash the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin also
    Empty the trash
    Mount the DMG and run the installer to reinstall Reader
    When it finishes, reboot and open Reader from the Applications folder
    Accept the License Agreement and then close Reader
    Relaunch Safari
    Go to: Safari>Preferences>Security and make sure that "Allow all other plugins" is checked
    You should be able to open PDFs in Safari

  • I messed up badly by trying to restore my brand new macbook pro by doing restart then command R and choose disc utility repair now when I start ,all I get is the white screen with a folder and a question mark,What can I do???help please

    Can you still boot to the Recovery partition using Command and R whilst booting? Or did you wipe the Recovery partition as well?
    If your Recovery partition is still intact, you can simply boot to it and reinstall the OS via the Internet. If you wiped the Recovery partition, you can hold down Command, option and R keys whilst booting and boot into true Internet Recovery mode. You'll be able to reformat the hard drive, erasing all partitions (format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a dingle GUID partition) and then reinstall the OS that shipped with your machine.
    Note that you should use a physical Ethernet connection when restoring over the Internet - it's three times slower if you use wifi.
    Try your Recovery partition first and if that doesn't work, use Internet Recovery.

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there.

  • The youtube player won't work in Firefox. It works fine in IE. I rebooted Firefox & rebooted my computer, but all I get is a black screen where the player should be (no picture, no controls). Can you help me out

    Players in other sites are working.

    Hello!
    First you might want to check about:plugins to get some information about your Flash plugin status.
    If your plugin version is stated there along with more information - it means that its installed. Furthermore, if the plugin is outdated, well, this can be the first cause of the problem. Please go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ . I your plugins is outdated, please update.
    If the problem persists, try creating a new Firefox profile see where it gets you.
    More information here https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles
    If still no go, we'll have to send your data to our dev team, meaning filling a bug in bugzilla under the core product and plugin component https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ . but i hope we won't get there.
    Please let me know if any above worked for you
    Cheers!

  • Why can I not open pdf files in Safari? All I get is a black screen.

    Suddenly Safari will not allow me to open pdf-files, and I have gathered from other discussions that it is a problem. I removed Adobe Reader, to see if Preview would kick in but it did not work. Any suggestions?
    Thankful for any ideas.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
