Flashing black screen when pasting?

I have a student that when she pasted some image (jpg) and text elements from  from one indesign cs4 document to another the indesign window would flash black then part of what she was pasting would appear. Then it would flash black again and the rest would appear. It happened several times in a 50 min class period. Any idea what could be happening?

Yeah all the computers are imaged the same at the beginning of the school year. I'll run some diagnostics over the weekend to see if I can better pinpoint the issue if its not InDesign specific.

  • Getting a black screen when publishing in Captivate 4.

    I am getting a black screen when publishing in Captivate 4. I have noticed patches that care for this with later versions, but is there something available for version 4.

    Thank you for your reply, I work for Citi and am personally unable to make decisions about updating our Flash player version. Is there a patch for this issue for Captivate 4?

    Hi there, Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the same. Try updating your Flash Player to the latest version and then republish the project. This black screen issue was first discovered few months ago after the first Flash Player 10 release.  The link to download the latest version of flash is here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/  Newer versions of Flash Player do not result in the same issue.  Thanks!Shekhar

  • CS4: Flashing black screens between clips after exporting

    I'm having some trouble with a particular project when exporting video, and I can't seem to track down the cause. The primary problem is flashing black screens between clips, with the additional problem of occasionally having a clip that I fade to be completely black (ie, the first clip just fades to black instead of fading to the second clip).
    I say "occasionally" because the problem seems to migrate depending on what I do to try to fix it. I've noticed that if I shift the clips .1 seconds one way or another where there is a black screen, it will sometimes fix the problem, but when I fix one of them the exact same problem will pop up in another place where it didn't exist before. I can also export a few seconds of video where the problem occurs independently of the rest of the project and the issue won't occur, but will then reoccur in the same place if I export the project as a whole. All of the video is from the same source and is in the same format (.MOV from a Canon 7D). I've edited plenty of other stuff from the same source on the same computer, and the only other time I've seen this problem it's been fixed by just shifting the clips a little bit in the timeline as mentioned above. If anyone can suggest ANYTHING I can try to troubleshoot this problem I'd really appreciate it, because right now this is driving me up the wall.

    I've been exporting to h.264 exclusively so far. Below is a screenshot of where one of the offending screens appears between the two clips on the timeline (the yellow in the bar up top is there because I had stepped that clip back .1 seconds like I mentioned earlier and not re-renered the sequence). I've also verified that this particular spot shows no black screen on the Program Monitor - it's a completely smooth jump from one cut to another. Please let me know if you see anything that might be causing this!

  • Why do I have a black screen when I merge to HDR from Bridge?

    Why do I have a black screen when I merge to HDR from Bridge?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    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.

  • AIR - black screen when packaged

    When I run the application from Flash Develop everything is fine, both in Debug and Release.
    After the application is packaged and installed, I just get a black screen when run.
    However if I add a 'debug' file to applicationDirecty\META-INF\AIR\debug the application runs normally.
    What could be causing this? and how can it be solved?

    A debugging utility seemed to be causing the problem in the release build... removing calls to this solved the issue.

  • MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB - Black Screen When trying to load games

    Ok so I've been trying to figure this out the past 2 weeks and cant figure out whats wrong.
    Whenever I try and load a game more my screen goes black and I can hear sound but nothing is is being displayed. I cant task manager out or ALR-TAB out. It just sits there and I have to power down my computer manually.
    I've re-installed the drivers and have tried a different power supply since those are the 2 things I thought it would be and nothing is working.
    Any help would be very much appreciated

    Uninstall current driver in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<<. After reboot install current MSI driver: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/nvidia_33165_v7864_vga.zip
    Did it twice and it still gives me a black screen when going into a full screen on games.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Black screen when on tablet mode

    Hi,
    2 weeks Yoya 2 pro out of the box, and get a black screen when reaching the tablet mode (back of the lid touching the back of the laptop base).
    I try hanged the setting under power management, with no success. When reaching the tablet mode, I get the same result as closing the lid in laptop mode.
    I connect my Yoga 2 to a TV through the HDMI and can see the screen and interact with the black screen (not easy to touch the right spot).
    My bios is updated and I have Windows 8.1.
    Any suggestion???

    I found the answer to my problem at

    Now that I found that post I do recall the instructions telling me to turn it off manually when I updated the bios earlier this year. However, the current instructions do not mention it at all, perhaps they should be updated?

  • Why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page?

    why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
    If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
    AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
    Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
    I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
    Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
    I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • Black screen when opening in .pdf

    I'm having problems with opening the C5-project in .pdf. Some people get a black screen when opening the .pdf file (version 9 or higher), most of the time it goes well, but 1 out of 10 times it doesn't work. I have know idea what could be the cause of the black screen (use of laptop?).
    Now it is impossible to send this project to our stakeholders, because I don't know whether it works or not.
    Does anyone recognize this and knows why this happens, and how to solve this?

    There was a recent patch released by Adobe for Captivate 5 that addressed a similar black screen issue in Captivate SWFs.
    You can get the patch here: http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html
    It may turn out to fix your issue as well.

    I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

    Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
    I hope I helped
    thanks
