I have Windows 8 and get a green screen when trying to view videos

I have Windows 8 and get a totally green screen when trying to watch videos. Any ideas?

go here with your problematic browser and see if you have flash player installed: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
if you don't see confirmation that you have the flash player installed, go here and get it: http://get2.adobe.com/flashplayer/
p.s. untick mcafee unless you're certain you want it.

Windows 7 64 Bit black Screen when trying to got back to desktop

Hello,
just bought my a new Imac and isntalled Windows 7 64 bit without any problems.
When running a game under windows and i try to go back to the desktop with ALT+TAB or the windows key the screen gets black.I can still hear the game sound but i am not able to go back to the desktop or back to the game. The only solution is to hardboot (power on/off) the whole system. It has to be something with the 4850 HD drivers i think, i tried already to update them from the ATI homepage, no changes.
Has anybody else experienced the same problem?
Kind regards

I recently had a problem that was similar but with OSX 10.6. It may be a long shot, but have you considered that the BIOS in the Apple Mac may be the problem?
Windows / Mac / Linux, etc... all require a series of components to unanimously agree that everything is fine and funky. If one does not, then, dependant on the problem it can either Freeze, crash or cause instability problems. At the core of any OS is its link to the base hardware, which is to all intents and purposes the BIOS.
So coming back to the problem, when I upgraded my white Macbook (4,1 version) to 10.6, I wanted to find out if it would work with the 64bit kernel of Snow Leopard. To the best of my knowledge the machine has a 32bit EFI firmware. Initially it was all bunnies and flowers in Mac-land and everything was happy with the 64bit kernel. However, this is the 'But' that usually surfaces, this was all well and good till it went to sleep. When I tried to wake the machine, things happened but it failed to reinitialize the video hardware, so a black screen and an even more puzzled look on my face. A hard reboot would solve the problem, but repeating the sleep function and putting the machine to sleep, repeated the video initialisation problem and I was cold rebooting again. Before you all come out of the wood work and say that this machine is not authorised by Apple to run 10.6 as a 64bit version, I know and did it as a test, by hacking two files in the system - It works, just don't let it sleep on you or you'll be pulling the plug. My needs for a 64bit OS are due to Adobe Lightroom and its memory problems under 32bit, which seem to be largely neutralised with the 64bit kernel. As a small side note, my newer 13.3" MacBook is all bunnies and flowers in Mac-land, even coming out of sleep mode.
Now it suggests that in the dreaded Black Screen of Death, that seems to be popping up with an alarming regularity, may have more to do with the BIOS in machines not properly sorting the peripherals and components on the PCI and PCIe buses when something radical happens. As you know, Windows Vista did some real funky stuff when switching video modes or jumping between one full screen program and the desktop. Just remember Vista did some strange video funkiness when bringing the UAC to your attention. It reminded me of the weird stuff ATI did with their 9800XT & Pro video cards when windows first started, Black screen and then reinitialise.
In your example, I believe that Direct X 10 needs to switch from the game or application to the Desktop UI. As normal windows applications are not full screen they work within the framework of the Direct X 10 and UI, but when you deal with full screen that's a different matter.
For years we have all been 32bit and happy, but then the switch to 64 bit hit the shelves and all of a sudden things ain't so good. After all the PC BIOS scene is not exactly standard fair, and in most cases the versions that float around on the Internet are all different.
I would suggest (If you can get a copy) you try to see if you can get a 32bit version of Windows 7 and see what happens - although some of the draconian measures that Microsoft go to lock you in can be frustrating, so my apologies if this is not possible. Also have you checked that the Mac has a 64bit EFI BIOS and that it is able to support this type of OS. If it does have 64bit BIOS it is generally Apple who chained their OS by restricting certain machines with capable BIOS, not the actual Hardware that is the problem. So if you have a 64bit capable BIOS then I can only think you need to check for an update or something.
The other problem is that everything Apple, but the Mac Pro, is tightly controlled by Apple. On the Mac Pro, it is feasibly possible to change some of the components in the system, all other machines are fixed. Take for instance the Video BIOS, can you find any updates or files - unless Apple deign to release it we have to suck it. After all they are in the business of supporting their machines and OS combinations, not the other Operating systems out there.
Anyway just my ten pence worth. Hope it helps.

ITunes Stops Responding When Trying To Play Video - Windows 7 64bit

Ok, I've been getting my new Win7 box up and going. Everything is working great with the exception of iTunes.
Setting up iTunes / Quicktime is quick and easy. After a single reboot then launching iTunes and trying to play any video results in "iTunes has stopped responding". Then it shuts down.
If I either, re-install iTunes or Quicktime. Video works again, until I reboot. Then I end up with the same error message "iTunes has stopped responding".
I've ran the test over and over, probably a dozen times. I re-install and all works again, until I reboot. And yes, I scanned for viruses, I've check and rechecked settings.
Can anyone help!? I really want to move everything from my XP machine to Win7, but this one thing keeps holding me up.

PLEASE!! ANYONE! No one has any ideas?

When trying to play video triangle with a line thru it appears

When clicking on a video link in a website some videos dont play, An arrow with a line thru it appears in the middle of the screen. Anyone know what the issue is?

I believe that it means the video requires flash which the iPad does not support.

Why is Acrobat X Pro (CS6, Windows 7) asking for Flash Player when trying to play a video?

I created an interactive PDF from InDesign that includes f4v and mp4 videos. When I click on them to activate I get this message: "To view the Flash® technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player." I checked the version of Flash player on both of my computers and they both have the latest. And, they both worked when tested.
So, what the heck's going on here?

Well, it sounds like Flash Player is installed and running, though I think you might have transposed a couple numbers (it should be 10,3,183,7). Are you having problems with any other FB games? Have you posted on the game's forums to see if any other user has encountered issues recently?

Safari/Firefox show quicktime symbol with a ? when trying to play videos

I have searched the forums and every solution for the "quicktime with ?" is either unanswered for my situation or the solution hasn't worked for me. I have a mac pro running 10.5.6 and quicktime Pro 7.6 installed. I have reinstalled quicktime 7.6, reinstalled real player (there was a suggestion this would help) and reinstalled flip4mac. I have also upgraded my safari to 4 Beta and still no luck. When I load firefox (current version as well) same issue. I'm trying to view the videos/tutorials on apple's website. I have no issue playing quicktime movies already on my machine, just from the web. Please advise, thanks!!

Welcome to the forums!
The "quicktime with ?" generally refers to Flash videos.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(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 Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
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.

HP Pavilion 15t-n200 Notebook PC with Windows 7

Several days ago, the HP Pavilion 15t-n200 Notebook PC with Windows 7 was listed on your website with an 'after savings' price of $599 which included a free upgrade from the 8G RAM to 12G Ram. No additional software, etc. The only reason I didn't purchase it then is because I was waiting for funds to clear as I buy all our equipment on a cash-only basis.
Today, your Labor Day 'Sale' is showing the same laptop with an 'after savings' price $549, however the upgrade to the 12G Ram is now $75. I've been an HP buyer for the last 10 years, but this seems more like an illusion of a sale than an actual sale for the same exact specs.
Can someone please explain??
Thank you!

Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm sorry, this is not an acceptable answer. I've been watching this laptop for nearly 3 weeks and as I mentioned, I've been buying HP products for 10 years.
HP lowers the price by $50 on the front end for a "Sale", but then removes the free RAM upgrade. So, the laptop with the exact same specs are now $25 more than before the sale.
Most people probably wouldn't notice the small change from a free upgrade to an upgrade that now costs $75, but I did. That isn't a sale. That is very deceptive marketing, specifically since HP is promoting this product as part of its Labor Day Sale.

Unable to view external webcam content. I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view

Unable to view external webcam content. I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser. I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Thinkpad X300 with windows xp sp2 gets blue screen after standby.

We have a Thinkpad X300 (with windows xp sp2) gets blue screen after standby. I mean after you close the lid then open it. Anyone has see this kind of behave before?
Thanks,

I have found the solution to this problem - hope you are still watching the thread.
Express install in parallels seems to be the culprit. Do a custom install instead and set your own virtual hard disk size. I set mine to 12 Gb (12000 Mb)and made it a fixed size instead of "growing" or whatever the heck parallels calls it. I also chose shared network instead of "bridged" (I read that someone else had identified this as part of the problem).
After making those changes it worked like a charm.

Using Time Capsule with Windows 7. Won't work when modem connected directly to Time Capsule, must be connected through another router.

Apple Time Capsule working with Windows 7 PC will not work when modem is connected directly to the Time Capsule. Only when a Cisco Linksystem is connnected inbetween the modem and the Time Capsule.

Sorry but it needs much more specific info than this..
What modem? Is it cable or adsl or some other?? Is it pure modem or broadband router included?
Cable has specific issues different to adsl.
If you used to use the Cisco/linksys router.. and have not reset the cable modem it will not work. Turn off the cable modem.. it must be powered down.. if battery backup drop out the battery. Remove the coax cable.. get it off. Power down everything else in the network.
Plug in the modem to the TC wan port.
Power up the modem.. wait 2min
Power up the TC.. wait 2min
Power up the clients.
If it has worked you will now be able to open the airport utility on the windows computer and see the TC has a public ip on the WAN port. If not redo the whole thing but leave the modem off.. 15min.. 1 hour.. 1 day.. ring the cable company and ask them to reset. Usually a few minutes is enough.
If you have a modem with combined router.. then bridge the TC. Just google search it.
For other combos.. tell us specifics..

How do you solve error "You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X" when trying to go back to leopard from lion?

Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive. I can't seem to get it to do this.

This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon. The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work. Apparently my setup doesn't work.
Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years. What do you use for email and calendar?
Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times.
Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall

Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall. The IT guys have opened up the ports and URL's specified in the Adobe documentation. I have also captured the network traffic of both the failed and successful downloads for IT to examine (using Little Snitch), however they can find nothing to account for the problem. Adobe just seems to "give up and die" after about 2-3 minutes. Why is this? How can I or IT fix this?
Can I send the above log files to someone familiar with these issues for examination?

Hi Gveo,
Please follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | About Creative Cloud Packager which will help you to get your issue fixed.
