How to Force enable, silent updates for Adobe flash in windows 8

How to Force enable updates, silently for Adobe flash in windows 8 using group policy?
I have followed this Article:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/administration-configure-auto-update-notification.h tml
http://gpyall.com/archives/disable-adobe-flash-updates-on-64-bit-windows-with-group-policy /
This looks promising but not working.
Also, I cannot even manually create a file, in Win 8 (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash)
So how would group policy can put mms.cfg in this location with following vaule:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
Thanks in Advance.

I, too, have found Bridge very unstable. I find this to be extremely disappointing, seeing as it's literally the most expensive piece of software I've ever purchased for personal use. I've seen these two symptoms:
1. When running in full screen mode, Bridge crashes periodically. This happened on Vista, so I blamed Vista (of course), but even after regressing to XP SP2, I see the same symptoms.
2. Although I didn't see this on Vista, running on XP I see the problem described earlier in this thread, where clicking on a thumbnail displays the wrong image preview. When this happens the image displayed is one from a different folder! I solve the problem by clearing the cache, and it's OK for a while, but the problem keeps returning.
3. Even when exiting cleanly from Bridge (using File->Exit), Bridge often forgets where I was working in my previous session. I need to re-navigate from the very top level directory down through the hierarchy to my photo directory.
Again, it's very disappointing to invest so much in a single software package only to see such basic operations malfunction.

Dare I say 'transparent window'

Hi, like many people I would like to be able to create transparent windows, dialogs etc, but a little lost, well actullay a little less lost since yesterday!
I am OK with the C++ side, native-java and java-native etc, but not sure which C headers to use for my purposes, or infact where to find them. I have searched google quite a lot, and found many references to jniwrapper and other commercial solutions, but those people that do know how to do this seem very reluctant to share the secret.
Can anybody provide a bit of direction?
Thanks

hello...
that link didn't work for me. is that site still up and running?
is it possible to make a transparent window in java so that another completely different application can be seen underneath?
thanks...

Preview app shows png image as transparent window

When I open a PNG file in Preview.app, it doesn't show the image. it just shows a transparent window the size of the image. I can preview the image in the Finder fine. Note the transparent window in the screenshot:
Is there a cache or preference file I should delete?
Thanks,
-Scott

Here is another thread on similar issue
Preview - Outline only appears?
There are at least two different solutions within it - one involves a separate (free) program called Etrecheck, the other possible solution does not.
Did you recently update? And what system are you having this issue with? On the MBP or Mac Mini?

Dark transparent window overlayed all windows

There is a Dark Transparent 'window' that has overlayed it self on the screen. It is in the top Right Corner and I can not make it disappear...
Any ideas?
Before I start tearing apart my system?
cheers.

Amagine,
Is it LCD or CRT?
Could be the monitor:
1. Try it on another system!
If all else fails.
2. Try going into ColorSync Utility and playing around with the color settings and see what happens.
Try changing the resolution and colors, also if there are multiple Hz settings try changing them and playing around with that.
3.Still there? Try reseating the video card. No dice with that, and the same deal on another system then it's the monitor. If it's LCD it's probably the monitor.
Do it in whatever order is easier for you. I just felt like numbering them.

Really Transparent Windows...

I saw lots of examples to fake a transparent window, thats fine for me... but what i couldn?t find out is if there is any way to make the "transparent" parts NOT clickable...
when the user clicks the transparent part of the frame it passes this event to whatever is behind it.
Could someone help me!?

I just want to create a Frame that isn�t rectangular.. in order to have a circular Frame for example... I can make the frame transparent and make it have the appearence of a circular Frame, but when the user clicks the "invisible" parts of the frame (the ones that aren�t inside the circle), the Frame receives the event, and not the things that are behind it. Like, if i open the notepad and then my program over it, i see just the circle over the notepad, but when i click the parts of the frame i made transparent using Robot..., the focus goes to the Frame, and not to the notepad...
i really apreciate your replies.. if no one knows how to solve it.. ok.. it happes :)...

Transparent Windows Forms in Windows Embedded Compact 7

I am looking for a solution to make the background of a Windows Forms in a Windows Embedded Compact 7 device transparent. These approaches have failed:
- override void OnPaintBackground with empty code block
- using the open source project AlphaMobileControls

Sorry, I thought that article had more detail. Now I look at it again it's rather less useful than I thought.
bitblt is copying pixels.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa452879.aspx
The way this would have to work ( afaik ) is you copy some proportion of the bits out the rectangle behind your window.
If you want low opacity rather than completely transparent you would merge them with whatever colour you want the background to look a bit like.
You'd be painting a picture onto the background in the onpaint.
If your user moves the "transparent" window then you need to copy the background from the new location.
If it were me I'd push back on the requirement.
Hope that helps.

Transparent windows on Linux

Hi all,
My HTML/JS AIR app uses alpha-blended PNGs to apply a pretty window decoration on the desktop. On Mac and Windows, it looks great and works exactly how I would like. On Linux though (Ubuntu on VirtualBox) the transparency does not work, and I've got a big black border where the alpha blending should be.
Is this expected on Linux, and I should wrap a normal window around instead, or should I expect to see alpha blended windows behave and look the same as on Mac/Windows?
Cheers!
Garry

Hi Garry
To be able to view transparent windows you need to enable desktop effects (this is not a limitation of AIR but of display managers). Unfortunately desktop effects cannot be enabled on virtual machines, you can only do that on a physical machine.

My firefoz opens but opens a transparent window that only has the close,minimize and maximize buttons.

So my firefox has been running well but when i updated my computer, it stopped working. when i double click the icon, it opens a blank transparent window with only the maximize, minimize and close buttons. you cannot even tell its firefox. it does not display any error messages and installing again does not work.
what is this and how do i fix it?

hello nachoz88, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940393#answer-377118 from another user] we found out that this might be related to malware active on your pc. please close all firefox windows and try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|running firefox in safemode]] (by pressing the shift key while you're starting it). in firefox safemode go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove the entry named "Codec v1.0" or any other addons that look suspicious & you have not installed intentionally. afterwards see if you can run firefox normally again...
please also do an in-depth scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & keep firefox and your plugins up-to-date in order to stay safe on the web.

How can I capture a semi transparent window?

Hello all
I am trying to grab an image of a semi transparent window into a bitmap. I have tried using both CopyFromScreen and BitBlt using the window handle but in both cases all I get is the image from behind the window I want to catch, it's like the semi transparent
window is completely invisible to both capture methods. Is there any way I can capture the window I want?
Thanks
Rich

Here is an example. You can try it in a new form project with 1 Button and 1 PictureBox added to the form. As i said, it is just an example so, when it is run the form will be partialy transparent. Click the button and it will capture the whole screen including
your transparent form. Then it will set the forms opacity back to 1.0 so you can see that the transparent form was captured in the image.
You will need to set it up to be used in a practical way. This is just a quick test example.
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class Form1
Private Const CAPTUREBLT As Integer = &H40000000
Private Const SRCCOPY As Integer = &HCC0020
<DllImport("gdi32.dll", EntryPoint:="BitBlt")> _
Private Shared Function BitBlt(ByVal hdcDest As IntPtr, ByVal nXDest As Integer, ByVal nYDest As Integer, ByVal nWidth As Integer, ByVal nHeight As Integer, ByVal hdcSrc As IntPtr, ByVal nXSrc As Integer, ByVal nYSrc As Integer, ByVal dwRop As UInteger) As <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)> Boolean
End Function
<DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint:="GetDC")> Private Shared Function GetDC(ByVal hWnd As System.IntPtr) As System.IntPtr
End Function
<DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint:="ReleaseDC")> Private Shared Function ReleaseDC(ByVal hWnd As System.IntPtr, ByVal hDC As System.IntPtr) As Integer
End Function
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'set this form so it is partialy transparen. Just to show it was captured for this example
Me.Opacity = 0.5
PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'if the picturebox has an Image the Dispose it first
If PictureBox1.Image IsNot Nothing Then PictureBox1.Image.Dispose()
'define the rectangle area of the screen to capture (whole screen in this case)
Dim CaptureRectangle As Rectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
'Assign the new image captured from the screen to the picturebox image
PictureBox1.Image = CaptureScreenImage(CaptureRectangle)
'just so you can see the image better set the form`s opacity back to 1.0
Me.Opacity = 1.0
End Sub
Private Function CaptureScreenImage(ByVal rect As Rectangle) As Bitmap
Dim scrnHdc As IntPtr = GetDC(IntPtr.Zero)
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(rect.Width, rect.Height)
Using grx As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
Dim grxHdc As IntPtr = grx.GetHdc()
BitBlt(grxHdc, 0, 0, rect.Width, rect.Height, scrnHdc, rect.X, rect.Y, SRCCOPY Or CAPTUREBLT)
grx.ReleaseHdc(grxHdc)
ReleaseDC(IntPtr.Zero, scrnHdc)
End Using
Return bmp
End Function
End Class
If you say it can`t be done then i`ll try it

Anybody having trouble pasting texture into the opacity masks box in the transparency window?

Very frustrating, works sometimes, sometimes doesn't. When I cut and paste the texture into the "black box" in the transparency window it doesn't copy and appears white on my document.

this is what I should get in the newest illustrator, but this was done in CS5 - I'm familiar with this process... just don't know why it works sometimes in the newest illustrator and sometimes it doesn't, it's frustrating.

Google chrome will not run Adobe flash in windows 8 mode now, why?

My windows 8 dell laptop can use Google Chrome in desktop mode and windows 8 app mode, Google Chrome Version 29.0.1547.66 m. I was using adobe flash in windows 8 mode when al of the sudden it told me that flash could only be used in desktop mode and kicked me into desktoop mode. I have adobe flash version11,8,800,97 installed. please help I would really like to know if there is something wrong.

I have the same problem. I was using Google Chrome without any problems until two days ago, when suddenly a bar started popping up accross the top of the page saying "Adobe Flash Player only works on the desktop" and give me the options "Relaunch Chrome" or "Don't ask again." It can be very frustrating to have to relaunch chrome, especially if you're in the middle of streaming, or downloading, or halfway through something extremely long (and usually boring in my line of work) and it starts you back at the beginning because you have to relaunch. Is there anyway to make Adobe work in the Windows 8 mode again and not just on the desktop? I have Adobe Flash Player version 11,8,800,97 and Google Chrome version 29.0.1547.66 m. Thanks.

Adobe Flash on Windows 7 Laptop

So i am trying to use the Pandora website as well as some others, but it keeps saying i need flash player. I go to the adobe site and i installed the newest one and it said successfully installed. But when i (even after restarting my computer) try to use Pandora again it says i need to have flash player.
I tried to do the plugin check for Firefox but it just kept loading during the check. Also I looked in my add-on page, and I do not see adobe flash, or shockwave of any sort.
Please help!
