Invisible Text in Flash Player Using Windows XP

I seem to have a problem with the Flash Player and invisible text. The Flash Player will load but there will be some buttons that are not labeled with text, so you don’t know what the buttons are, fill-in text boxes that have no text or text description, so you don’t know what to type in them, and drop-down lists that are blank, but there is supposed to be text to select from.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox, that did nothing; unistalled the Shockwave Flash Plug-in and reinstalled it, that did nothing; unistalled Flash and Shockwave standalone Players entirely, leaving only the Plug-in, nothing; uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player standalone, nothing there either. I cannot seem to find a solution and every browser I have, the same problem occurs – invisible text.
I was reading on the Adobe Forum that there is this same issue sometimes with Mac and that the problem seems to be font incompatibility.
This happens with any browser I use – Firefox, Flock, PaleMoon, IE, Opera, Netscape.
My OS is Windows XP Home Edition
Main browser is FireFox version 3.6.17
Shockwave Flash Plug-in version is 10.3.183.7
I also have the Shockwave Player standalone version 11.6.1.629
Has anyone, using Windows, had this same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks for any advice.

Invisible text in Flash enabled web pages is a frustrating problem that is affecting Mac Users who play Farm Town (8.5+ million people on FaceBook) and probably many other games too. See this forum as an example of the problem: http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2531318
Before even reading this forum I did everything that appears here with no success and then everything listed in the referenced forum (above) with no success... but the following did fix the invisible text problem and I hope that it will help others too.
1. Drag the Font folder from the User directory to the trash ie. ~/Library/Fonts. (where ~ is = your User Account Name.)
Be careful; this is NOT the Font folder in the main library.
2. Download Font Finagler v1.5 beta for Mac OS 6, and clean the font cashe files following the instructions for this free shareware app.
http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/
3. Open the Font Book app which is a new app that is included with the Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6). (Font Book is in the Applications folder.) Read the Help info for this app and then: Choose "All Fonts" in the left column and then choose "Select Duplicate Fonts" from the Edit menu. Disable or delete all duplicate fonts that this process identifies. After dealing with the duplicate fonts, select "All Fonts" again in the left column and choose "Validate Fonts" from the File Menu. Deal with the results that it will display using the help file for guidance. Interestingly, in my case there were no corrupt fonts in my Mac system, but the validation process identified more duplicate fonts that the previous step did not find. Again deal with the findings and disable or delete the duplicate fonts.
4. Reboot your Mac and get on with using your Flash enabled web pages. Duplicate fonts seems to be the problem that cause invisible text in Flash enabled web pages.
Hope this helps you... it worked for me.

Invisible Text in Flash Player on Financial Website

Just spent an hour on the phone with one of my financial sites on which I can no longer see some important text. They tried everything, none of which worked, and concluded it must be incompatibility of the adobe flash and Snow Leopard. It started right after installation of Snow Leopard. I've since learned that others have this problem too. Any suggestions on how to get this fixed? What can I do?

It's great that you've isolated the problem to the User account.
You can usually just drag a plist or sub-folder of preferences to your desktop and an application will replace the missing preference file automatically as needed. You can delete the files when the problem is fixed.
In your User folder which is often represented in a path as a ~ character there are several Flash related locations.
~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player
You can dump the cache to see if it's causing a problem.
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player
Here, there are several folders like #Security, #Shared Objects, etc. You can move these folders to the desktop and see if the problem goes away.
~/Library/Preferences/Flash 10 MRU
Move the file to the desktop.
If you move the folders to your desktop, you could put them back if desired.
If you remove all of these references from your machine and have to reinstall flash, that's a good thing, but not a usual occurrence for programs like this.
You might have other preference files that I don't have on my system, and I might have older files laying around in mine because they haven't been noticed as a problem. Typically these files are so small, that they don't matter to anyone.
Hope this helps. Preference files can be challenging to isolate.

How to upgrade Flash Player in Windows 8.1 Pro

I have windows 8.1 pro with IE 11 and the news video won't be able to play online. The error message is "Sorry, Clip not found...Media not found". It gives only an option to click 'OK' and the screen stays black. I am sure the video is OK, because I can run it on Windows 7.
I contacted Microsoft Support and they suggested I upgrade my flash player. My flash player version is 13.0.0.206 and the lasts is 13.0.0.214. I tried to upgrade and it says "Flash player is integrated in Windows 8" and no option to install it.
I also tried uninstall Flash player with Uninstall Flash Player tool but it did not uninstall Flash even though the message said 'uninstalled successfully'.
In brief, how do I correct 'Sorry, clip not found. Media not found' when I play online video? This is a news video, not movie or youtube and how do I upgrade Flash on Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Thank You.

Hi Texan,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x systems and you can only update Flash Player for IE by updating Internet Explorer. Microsoft releases Internet Explorer updates whenever there is a Flash Player update (usually monthly). To update your version of Internet Explorer go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Update > Check for Updates. Since you don't have the latest version of Flash Player, it should find the 'Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 (KB2957151)' released May 13, 2014. Alternatively, the URL for this specific download is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2957151.
If you also have other non-IE browsers, you can install/update Flash Player by going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using the non-IE browser and the page will present you with the appropriate version for the OS and browser.

Cannot install Flash Player in Windows 8.1

Tried to install Flash Player in Windows 8.1 (32 bit). Used all the instructions; i.e, disable saftey, enable scripting, etc. An install box says Update KB2934802 is already installed. Searched computer for KB.....02 and Flash Player. Says none exist. Any suggestions?

Ever since Windows 8, Flash Player for Internet Explorer is written by Adobe ONLY. It's embedded by Microsoft, and you cannot:
- Update it
- Download it
- Install it
- Reinstall it
from here. You MUST update Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) through Windows update. But... Using Windows 8.1 means you were forced to update to IE11, which has it's own problems and they can be summed up in three words...
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
The REAL solution, like the original problem can also be summed up in three words:
"Use another browser"
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

How can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop

how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

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:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Issue when installin Flash Player on Windows Server 2012

Hi,
I have installed the latest version of the Flash Player for Windows Server 2012, but I get the error message: "An error has been encountered. Close the window and downloading again".
I closed the window and downloaded again however I am still getting the same error message. I followed all the steps described on this link: Problemas de instalación | Flash Player | Windows but still getting the same error.
Any help?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Andres,
Are you using the online shim installer (about 1 MB in size) downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer, or the offline installer (about 17 MB in size)?

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

How to choose the speakers Flash Player uses?

How on earth do I choose the speakers which Flash Player uses?
I downloaded the latest Flash Player, and it worked fine. Then I had a Skype conversation, and now Flash uses the same "speakers" which Skype uses ie a USB headset.Flash player can no longer see the computer's speakers.
There seems to be absolutely no way in the web-based setup to tell Flash Player which sound output to choose. In Windows control panel (WIn XP SP3) the defaults for both sound and voice playback are set to the speakers (Realtek HD Audio) - Windows media player plays correctly over the speakers. If I right-click on an embedded video, I get a settings manager which lets me choose the microphone and camera Flash Player uses, but not the speakers. And I can't choose the speakers in the general sound controls of the Realtek HD audio, because those controls have no way of referring to any individual program. It is wierd!!!!
I don't think there is anything cracked or broken - it was fine this morning, now not. How do I get sound coming out of the speakers again?
Many thanks

how can install adobe flash player for windows 8 pro internet explorer
how can instal flash player for internet explorer metro ui

I can't tell from the screenshot, but it's possible you are running in the Metro version. Could you try this page using Internet Explorer in desktop mode to see if that helps?
right click in the browser and click the tools button
In the menu that appears, select "view on the desktop"
Once IE launches in the window, do you see your Flash content?

64 bit Flash Player for Windows

Just in case anyone at Adobe actually reads this forum (which I doubt).
Why is it taking so long for Adobe to release a 64 bit Flash Player for Windows. 64 bit computing has been readily available to purchase for nearly three years now (Linux even longer). What are they doing at Adobe?. Is it because they think there is not enough money in it for them?
What a sad state of affairs.

I have now been waiting over a year for a 64 Bit Windows flash player that will work on IE8.
I have had a 64 bit computer for two plus years and cannot understand the reluctance by the software market providers to support the ever increasing 64 bit community. Its rediculous it seems that they will not write these programs as there are not so many people using 64 bit and there are not so many people going for 64 bit because there are not so many 64 bit pieces of software out there.
I believe that it is up to the softawre writers to take the lead. Adobe being one of them. They are supposed to be a leading edge software provider yet they appear not to be able to provide 64 bit software, or at least not in this decade.
If you google 64 bit flash player it comes back with 14 million hit requests - surely 14 million is enough for Adobe to think about actually realeasing something.
I use Windows 7 64 Bit OS and it is the best OS I have used to date - rock steady and dam fast. I use IE8 64 bit as a browser and Firefox 32 bit so I can use flash. I have been having problems with the latest release of Firefox (3.5) so tend to use the IE8 more - this is very fast - But no Flash available!!!!!
It has been a very long time now - come on Adobe there are enough people out there wanting it - give us a date for a 64 bit Windows Flash player - preferably before then end of the year (2009) rather than the end of the decade - thanks guys!

Was it a mistake to uninstall Flash Player from Windows 8?

I have a Lenovo Y580 Laptop with IE10 windows 8. I was not able to view embedded videos on websites and searched the problem online. Somewhere I ran in to information about glitches with Flash Player and Windows 8. I found instructions on how to delete Flash Player files from Windows 8 using a combination of the steps on the websites below. Now I am able to view embedded videos but I don't understand exactly what I did/whether I will have issues in the future due to deleting Flash. Now when I type in the search box for Flash Player it shows a Flash Player 32 Bit Flash Settings Manager. Im confused as to what I deleted and what the cons to this may be as I am not super computer savvy

Hi,
Flash Player is integrated with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. It's unnecessary to install or uninstall Flash Player.
Since you have uninstalled, you may want to look at this document for reinstalling Flash Player: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html
