Flash Player Settings box Won't Close

Hi! I'm using windows 7, Internet Explorer. For months now nearly every time I try to watch a video the "adobe flash player settings" box pops up with the "allow/deny" screen. Whichever I click, the box won't go away. The whole video will play with that box right in the middle, blocking the screen. How do I close this box? I can't even move it out of the way.
I've searched for an answer, but apparently I'm the only one in the world with this problem because I can't find this topic when I search on google or yahoo.

The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic. Because there are pixels changing around the dialog, we think that something may be obscuring the dialog when you click, so we don't register it as valid.
The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer). The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers. While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience. So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode. Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.

How to specify the position of the flash player settings window

Hi, I have a flex app which turns on a web camera and shows
the video from the camera. When the page first loads the Adobe
flash player settings window displays which you are required to
click on allow or deny.
My question is, is there a way to specify where this settings
window should be positioned on the screen?
You can use this flex test app to see the settings window.

Yeah, it makes sense that we can't modify the contents of the
window, but I'd like the position of the window to be based on the
position of my application... oh well...

Why is it impossible to select options in the flash player settings

I just installed FP 11.8.800. and tried to activate a camera for a netStream. When the flsh player settings panel came up, none of the buttons responded to mouse clicks in Firefox or Chrome. It does not work either if you tab through and try to activate the highlighed option with enter. What is wrong with it? Working on an Asus G73 64 bit laptop

Unfortunately, one of the security threats that we face in the modern security landscape is an attack against the browser and plug-in user interface called ClickJacking.
In short, we have to do a bunch of math and guessing to ensure that the clicks on the buttons in the settings manager are authentic, and not a result of someone tricking you into clicking by obscuring the dialog by placing something innocuous-looking on top of it, or programmatically generating the clicks. When you click on that box, we actually take a screenshot of the region, compare it against what we believe is rendered there, and if the two don't match, we don't accept the click.
Because we're not directly getting the input (the browser gets it and passes it along to us), we have imperfect insight into the origin and nature of the events that get passed in. This is one of those classic "garbage in, garbage out" situations.
The optimal solution would be to let the browser handle all of the user interface stuff because it does have authoritative insight, but there are a whole set of reasons (mostly backwards compatibility and platform fragmentation related) for why that isn't feasible in the short-term.
The problem is typically that you have a video playing, or something moving underneath the dialog such that the pixels around the dialog have changed between when you clicked and when we do that authenticity comparison, or there's a subtle rounding bug in the math that only happens at a specific resolution. Changing your resolution temporarily will usually get you around the problem, but we're not saying that it's a good solution.
If you can tell me what your display resolution is, and point me to the website where you're having the problem, I'll try and reproduce it and get a bug filed.
Also, there is frequently an "active" spot on the button in this situation, but it's too small. If you just try clicking around all over the button, and/or launching the settings manager in a different spot so that the stuff around the dialog window is less likely to change over time, you can probably get around it without changing resolutions.
Thanks!

Adobe Flash Player Settings Box

Just upgraded to Flash Player 16.0.0.257 ~ every video I try to watch has the Settings Box right in the middle ~ have r/clicked the box, tried settings, tried to close the box and nothing happens, almost acts like it's frozen. [see pic's] Went to online to Flash Player Settings Manager, changed some storage settings, closed the settings side, no help. Deleted Flash Player and reinstalled, same result ~ possible some settings are being stored in Windows someplace. Using Windows 7 Pro, 64bit, IE 11.0.9600.17501, I believe this is the latest version. Would be happy to e-mail anyone any additional information or respond here ~ I'm usually pretty good at figuring this sort of thing out but this has me puzzled... Thanks in advance for your help.. GM

How do I clean out the "Open With" dialog box when I right click an image?f

Hi,
When I right-click and image to open it in a program I get a long list of programs to choose from. Many are duplicated or the same program but different version #s like Preview. How do I clean out the dupes and ones I don't want and keep the ones I do?
How would I add CS3's Adobe Camera Raw to the list?

Do a search for details on cleaning up the "open with" dialog, it's been discussed before but I'm sorry I can't remember what the fixes are.
I have duplicate choices too but have never tried to clean them up.
Regards,
Steve M.

The Adobe Flash Player Settings popup is appearing offscreen in my Flex4 app. How do I stop this?

Hey guys,
I have a page with some html content and my Flex app in the bottom left hand corner. At one point, the Adobe Flash Player Settings popup appears, but I can only just see the top of it, the rest is off screen towards the bottom. I set the height of the application in the opening application tag, to 240. The whole app is visible in the HTML page, but for some reason the background colour of the Flex app goes past its height and width properties. This is probably causing the Flash Player Settings popup problems right?
Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the user can interact with the popup? Thanks for reading.

Thanks Mike, Problem continues if I uninstall Adobe Flash
Player....scanning computer now for malware.....amazing that the malware
uses Adobe Flash Player even thought my control panel says the player does
not exist. Adds are not too bad but I do not like something going on out
my control....what else is up??? That kind thing. Will let you know when
problem is solved, best, Allen Bealle

I've installed the flash player update, but I don't know how to make it run.

How do you launch the new update on safari? I can't view any web videos.

Attention Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Users:
We are working closely with Apple to address a few known issues related to Mac OS X 10.7 and Flash Player 10.3. For a list of known issues, please see the following Knowledge base Article:
Flash Player
Flash Player may cause higher CPU activity when playing a YouTube video. This issue isossibly related to disabled hardware acceleration.
UPDATE: The final release of Mac OS X 10.7 provides the same support for Flash hardware video acceleration as Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6). The previous known Issue suggesting that video hardware acceleration was disabled in Lion was incorrect and based on tests with a pre-release version of Mac OS 10.7 that related to only one particular Mac GPU configuration. Adobe continues to work closely with Apple to provide Flash Player users with a high quality experience on Mac computers.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.
G,
Thanks for posting that. It sounds like there was an issue, it only involved one type of setup, and they list a work around for it. I'm running the latest version of Flash without issue on 10.6.8.

Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks
nik

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

Trying to access Flash Player Settings Manager always asks to install but I already have it installe

I am trying to access Flash player website settings manager. I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have. I download it successfully. Windows 7 control panel has Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit. When I link again, I get the same message to download flash player as if I never did it before. What am I missing? There is also Flash Player (32-bit) icon that invokes Flash Player settings manager.Is this the best I can do to get the website storage settings? My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.

If you want to temporarily remove Flash Player LSO's(cookies), just delete the browser's temporary files. If you want to permanently remove LSO's, go to your control panel and activate the Flash Player Settings Manager. Change the Local Storage Settings to Block all sites from storing information on this computer. However, most sites with Flash Player videos will not work with this setting.

Flash Player won't install - says Flash Player Settings Manager is open

I cannot install Flash Player on my Win7 64-bit PC. When running the install from the download page, I simply get the error "Installation failed - Unknown Error". If I run the install from the standalone installer I get the message "Flash Player Settings Manager is Open" and a "quit" button".
I don't know what the Flash Player Settings Manager is or where to find it. It certainly does not seem to be "open" anywhere that I can see.

There was a discussion about this topic. One answer that many people found useful is:
1. Check for the file 'FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl' in the following folders:
On 32-bit systems, C:\Windows\system32
On 64-bit systems, C:\Windows\syswow64
2. Delete this file.
If you don't have the permission to delete the same, use a third-party application, such as Unlocker. (http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/)
3.Try installation or uninstallation.
Thanks
