Flash Player 10 Problem: Blank Screen

I just uploaded to flash player ten. I'm using Wndows Vista and Internet Explorer.
When on Youtube, half the time the video screen just loads a black, blank screen. If I refresh, SOMETIMES the video will then load properly. Using the "Watch this in a pop up window) seems to work, although the video quality appears degraded).
Curiously, when I get the blank, black window, any attempt to post comments bounces you to the login screen, even though I'm already logged in.
When on Hulu, I will sometimes get the emssage "I line in java script is causing this video to play slowly and may cause your computer to stop responding".
I've also had I.E. stop working and close abruptly. This "Black video window" screen is happening on other sites as well.
None of these problems were happening until I upgraded to flash player ten. Is there ANY sort of fix for this? I've heard that downgrading to flash player 9 doesn't neccessarily resolve the problem.
I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, and installing again. Still get the same problem.
As a side note; silverlight got dumped onto my computer during a windows upgrade. I removed it, and am hoping there isn't a connection. Registry issue?!?!

Correction; the hulu message was "A line in script (not Java, I believe) connected to adobe flash player is affecting playback and may cause your computer to become unresponsive".

Thanks for the helpful posting. I came searching here for advice because I could not get my Flash Player 9 installation to succeed using the trouble-shooting information provided on the Adobe web site, and from experience I have come to know that my best resource in trouble-shooting is to seek the help of other Mac users.
In following your instructions I discovered that "Enable Flash" was not checked in my preferences, so that was definitely part of the problem. However, I still could not get Flash Player 9 to work, so after doing a Google search I found a posting on Version Tracker (under feedback at the bottom of this page: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11622 ) that provided the last little bit of instruction I needed to get Flash Player 9 to function properly.
Before attempting to install Flash Player 9 I had used Adobe's uninstaller to uninstall previous versions, as instructed on the Adobe website. However, AFTER repairing my disk permissions, I needed to restart the computer and run the uninstaller again. After uninstalling I restarted once more, ran the installer and, VOILA!, finally Flash Player 9 worked as it should.

Flash player installation problem on MAC

I have repeatedly tried to download and install Flash player v14 for my MacBook Pro and it constantly hangs at the "Retrieving Install" screen never moving past 0%. Then it times out and says the install has failed. I have also completely wiped old versions of Flash from my system (now NO Flash-enabled sites will work at all--even more frustrating).
Any clues to remedy? Thanks.

The new Adobe Flash 14 installer does not work when you have an automatic proxy set. I've installed many versions of Flash on Mac without problems, but the new v.14 installer would never even start the download. (Of course the installer dmg would download, but when I ran the installer app, the download of Flash would not start, seemingly hanging at "Retrieving Installation"). I tried the uninstaller, which worked great. Then I tried installing v.13, which also worked fine. But I only got v.14 to install after I ... went to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and de-selected Automatic Proxy Configuration. Be sure to make a note of your Automatic Proxy URL, because after installing Flash and going back to the network Preference, I saw that the Automatic Proxy Configuration field was blank. But when I re-entered my APC URL, and clicked to select APC, all was well and I had flash installed while still able to browse external web sites when behind my companies firewall.

Adobe Flash Player Plugin Problem (Not listed)

Installed latest Adobe Flash Player, continually have to enable and disable if for YouTube I have tried uninstalling and re-installing and Firefox itself too, got all the updates. When going to full screen viewing I get a blank white screen..This I have put down to a conflict of the software...if it is can you tell me where I can get the fix/patch??

Flash Player stopped allowing full screen after update....

Some where arround 10.0 the flsh player on my XP and Vista computers stopped going to full screen when using the little square in the lower right corner of the viewing area... The screen switches to blank white screen while audio continues in the backround... hitting excape brings back the previous screen with the small movie viewing area in the middle of the computer screen. I noticed some where around this time hovering over the square that used to switch to full screen no longer brought up the text telling what the square was supposed to do....ie switch to full screen for the movie...At first I thought this was a Hulu move to get me to purchase the movies... The same results were on YouTube as well and other sites... I noticed that for a time Internet Explirer was able to switch to full screen but Firefox was not... I found that an update of the flash player on IE caused the same loss of full screen as on Firefox... (switch to blank white screen..) Chrome has the same result... Blank white sceen with audio in the background...A search of the forum messages seems to point out a problem that comes and goes as versions come and go... I have found google search results that should lead one to a site that would let you go back to a version that worked for me, but everything leads me to the site that will down load the latest version included the last version that indicated it was fixing my problem and may have for the other hardware and software combinations... but not for any of my computers with XP or Vista... If there was a paid version of Flash player that would allow me to expand the movie beyond the size of a post card, I would buy it... I found a telephone number that apparent linked to India or somewhere where they will support for money but the operator did not give me any confidence that he would do anything other than take the cash....If any one has a "fix" for this, I would sign up for the support, or buy the version or what ever Adobe wants me to do to fix my problem... My email is [email protected] I know that complaining about "free software" is frowned upon, but when the use of the software is demanded by having Hulu and others work only with their software, I think some effort to make the software work can be expected....Should we take the position that if we have a version that works, don't allow any updates...

I haven't read the full text of your post, only "blank white screen on fullscreen". If there are any other important info in the long text that follows, please let me know...
Most issues with fullscreen can be corrected by either
disabling Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings)
or installing the latest available device drivers for the video card

Flash player youtube problem

Ok guys, this one is a bit more complicated than it sounds. A while back I was using a older version of Fox, I think v 15.xxx and had flash player 11 or 12. When using youtube it looked great. But now I upgraded to the latest firefox and latest flash player. When I watch vids on youtube they look real blurry and pixelated until the 720 hd kicks in. And even then it doesn't look as good and with the older flash player. I checked and my nvidia card doesn't seem to have any effect on either program. Is this a legit problem and which flash player version should I switch back to??

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Solution for flash player crashing problem

This fix works pretty well, as all the latest versions of flash crash continuously, on almost every video.
First, download these two items:
Flash player Uninstaller
1. Flash player Uninstaller - http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Flash 10.3.183.25
1. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
[Editors Note: I updated the link to point to the Flash Player archives page, instead of the non-Adobe site. Please, ALWAYS download Flash Player directly from Adobe to ensure you have a valid, authentic copy. Malware distributors often attempt to trick users into installing malicious files by naming them as legitimate software programs. Wherever possible, always download software from the author's site.]
Run the Uninstaller (with browsers closed).
Then run the new Installer. You should not have problems anymore.
This version also switches from full screen and back, smoothly (without freakin crashing).
So far, it is running smooth as a lamb. I have no idea what is wrong with the other versions of flash player, but it is annoying. Even the very latest version crashes.
I am back to enjoying videos again, hope you will be too. :-)

Here are 4 links. I hope these are right, never looked at this data before.

The freezes, crashes, green screen, etc occor basically on any video. for ex https://vimeo.com/50512991 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfulqRdDbsg
Basically if i am doing nothing and just let it play a freeze, crash, green screen, etc will occur sooner or later. But skipping through the video will also result in such behavior.
I have these GT220 drivers (306.23) installed already.
hardware acceleration is permanently off indeed.
Here's a list. But you know, i think i have ruled out the plugins and addons already because i also used flash on a fresh Firefox install and on a complete new profile without any plugins and addons installed.

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.

Flash Player installation problems with Windows Embedded (WES/XPe)

I've deployed 13 HP T5740 Thin Clients at my office, each have Windows Embedded Standard (WES/XPe) and with Internet Explorer 7.
With limitations on VMWare servers and sound, users need to view webinars on their local client. When I try to install any version of Adobe Flash Player, the installation instantly fails...no reason given.
Is there a known issue with this? And is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Jeff

It's not working at the mo and it says under run without permissions - Shockwave Flash Object Enabled version 0.0.0.1
Just tried to download version 10.2.153.1 and now the download manager opens but then just 'hangs' - nothing happens.
On Firefox, version 10.2.153.1 installed and enabled OK. No problem playing clips with Firefox.

How do I install flash player from the home screen?

I am operating Mac OSX. I have flash player version 16.0.0. I can't play any videos because my flash player is out of date. I download the latest flash player and when I go to install it, it takes me here www.adobe.com. There is no "Install flash player" prompt like there used to be. There is a "Download Creative Cloud" prompt for a fee. I go to the menu and there is no install flash player prompt. I go to Adobe Flash Player in the lower right hand corner and it prompts me to download the flash player again but not to install it and then I end up right back to the Adobe home screen again where there is no install flash player prompt. I search "install flash player" and it takes me to a prompt to download the flash player again which of course brings me back to the home screen where again, there is no install now prompt. I've been at this for days, extremely frustrated. How do I install flash player?

Hi Alicia,
If the browser is opening when you attempt to mount the DMG image, then somehow, the browser has been set as the default program to open DMG files. You'll need to change this association for the DiskImageMounter.app file to be the default program to open the DMG file. Please do the following:
Select the installer DMG file and CTRL-click on the DMG file.If DiskImageMounter.app is available, select that and skip to step 4 below
From the menu, select Open With > and then select Other...to open Finder
In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, look for DiskImageMounter.app and select it
At the bottom center of the Finder window, put a check in the box next to Always Open With
Click Open in the bottom right of the Finder window
This will mount the DMG file revealing the installer app.
Double-click the installer app (Install Adobe Flash Player.app) to launch the installer dialog window.
Follow prompts to install Flash Player

Adobe Flash Player 11- problems installing

I am operating Windows Home (64 bit). I use NORTON Security software. When I open a website that requires Adobe Flash Player 11, I try to download the required file. After going thru the steps to downloade the Flash Player 11, I get a screen that says I have sucessfully downloaded Adobe Flashplayer 11. However every time I try to use a website that requires Adobe Flash Player 11, it says that I don't have Adobe Flash Player 11 installed & that I need to down load the file again. I have done this about a dozen times. What am I missing????
