Is it possible Flash Player is turning my monitor off?

For about 6 months now my Dell Monitor is going off when the screen saver comes on, is it possible it is something to do with the Adobe Flash Player? I updated to the more current version (11) last night, hoping it would help.

The only way to tell for sure if you uninstall Flash Player completely, then see if it is still happening.

Flash Player screen turns GREEN (sound is ok)

PROBLEM #1.........
On different websites when I switch to full screen mode of flash player, sometimes the full scrren turns green after a short streaming. I would have to refresh the page, which starts the video from the beginning.
This started about three Adobe Flash updates ago. I have reinstalled Flash player so many times but can't fix this intermittent problem.
PROBLEM #2..........
Today after reinstalling the flash program, a box told me to choose mshta.exe and internet explorer.
I did close both but your program continued to tell me to close the Internet Explorer (which was already closed). RETRY would not go the the next step until I closed ask manager processes and services. This is unusual.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, IE9, SONY VAIO laptop pc.
I have unistalled and reinstalled flash player numerous times. But still get the green screen.
What is wrong with your software?

"Green" stuff is often caused by outdated graphics drivers; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

Problems with Flash Player videos turn green

I have windows 8 computer, Internet Explorer 11, and the Flash Player came installed on my computer. On or about May 31 , 2014, every time my computer is on for awhile, my Flash Player turns my video green, and I can not figure out how to change it back , other then turn my computer off and restart.
I have read so many reasons why, and what to do. I did make sure it was Enabled, and ActiveX Filtering is unchecked. Still having problems. How do I fix this? This computer was bought Dec 31, 2013. I have checked and made sure all is working on it.
Please help me fix this

Prevent Flash Player 10.1 freezing when off-screen (AS2)

I'm working on a set of SWFs that need to sync with each other using LocalConnection in AS2.
It was working fine in Flash Player 10, but as 10.1 throttles Flashes when they are not visible, the SWFs lose their sync if any of the SWFs are not visible on the page.
This is particularly annoying as we were not aware of this new behaviour in 10.1 and I expect the update will break a lot of similar websites.
Can anything be done to prevent Flash Player from stopping the Flashes? Ideally through the AS2 code.

I found that Flash has a new hasPriority parameter:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/WS4bebcd66a74275c36cfb8137124318eebc6-7ffd.html
This forces the SWF to start playing if it is off screen initially, which is better.
However, when the user scrolls so that a SWF moves off screen, it will still be throttled and resume from it's current frame when the user scrolls back on.
Is there any alternative to hasPriority that will continue to keep the Flash active?

Why do i have to re-install Flash player each time I shut off my computer?

Anytime I want to watch a video on the internet it says I must install a flash player so I go on line and download Adobe Flash player. But once I shut my computer down the flash player goes away.

Try a clean install as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
Download the installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
If the problem persists, run the uninstaller again, then try fixing the permissions on your system: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370

Two versions of flash player appear in resource monitor

I tried loading recent version of Flash Player. The first time I got a message which said something to the effect that I was loading the program outside of library boundaries. I just checked OK and then had to start the loading of Flash Player again. It now appears that 2 versions have been loaded. This now is locking up my system or causing to run very slow. I did uncheck the Hardware Accelerator some time ago but it was still running slow even after that and before I loaded the lastest version (versions). Would appreciate someone giving me some advice. Thanks in advance.

Have you scanned for adware?

Flash player crashing on second monitor

first time having to email firefox for help x.x
you recently did an update or something on this and now everytime i click off my twitch full screen mode to click onto my main monitor the twitch stream goes back to its normal size instead of staying on full screen.
you make me cry when you frustrate me with this annoying crap

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Can't turn my monitor off. I just get message "Power button lockout"

can't turn off my monitor....only get message "Power button lockout"

Hello imajo2,
When pressing the power button you get the message “Power button lockout”, is that correct? I will try to help you with this issue.
Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds and that should disable that function.
Let me know if this helps.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Clicking the 'Accept as Solution' button is a way to let others know which steps helped solve the problem!

Flash Player refuse to reinstall (OSX)

Hello!
This concerns OSX 10.6.4 and Flash Player installation problems.
I had some trouble with Safari 5 after installation and I tried many things including removing Flash Player (which turned out not to be the cause of the problem) using the Adobe uninstaller.
BUT
When I try to reinstall Flash Player, the installer get stuck at 95% forever. The installer seems to be waiting for something and isn't stuck according to Finder, but I still need to force quit the installer. When I try the installer again it reports "problems with installation" immediately, but after a restart I can run the installer again (which again gets stuck at 95%).
I cant see that the installer installs anything (plugins) and using the de-installer again makes no difference to the outcome. No firewall or anything blocks if the installer would require internet access. I've re-downloaded the installer from Adobe website several times.
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Hi, did you follow the instructions I posted to this thread? If so, then perhaps an anti-virus/firewall is causing the hang.
I would download the Uninstaller to your Desktop. Now I'm not sure if you can download the Installer and SAVE it to your Desktop or not, but if you can, I would. Then close all browsers and Run the Uninstaller, Reboot, followed by the Installer and Reboot.

Flash player version problem

I can go to this site (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/security/security_zone/apsb06-03.html)
and read about security issues but I need to present my boss with
the consequences of having a lower version. I am talking about the
type of vulnerabilities and consequences. Does Adobe have an
official release of such vulnerabilities? Please reply soon.

Hi, I see you have the 10.3.181.15 Installed. A thread was just put up that that has been updated to 10.3.181.15 here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/858902?tstart=0
I haven't had time yet to see the release notes, so am not sure if any audio issues were involved or not.
The new version is for Windows and IE9 only so far. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Well you've done most of what would normally be done. I just read something this morning about audio while searching for something else. I'll see if I can find it.
This is from the other thread you posted to:
I have tried turning the active x on and off with mixed results. On most web sites with video and the active x on the video won't display and a link will appear to download the flash player. With Active X off the video will play, but no sound. I have also downloaded the suggested patch for 10.3 player and still the same results. (no audio) The only place I get video and audio together. is on Microsoft's Windows 7 support page.
Any suggestions? ( I am also on IE9 on W7x64)
You may want to go to C:/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash Right click on the Flash and post back the files listed. I don't need any log info, just want to know what Flash Files and version#'s are listed.
Then using IE, go to Tools, Manage addons under "Show" and let me know if Shockwave Flash Object is Enabled & if the version # is 10.3.181.15.
Thanks,

FLASH PLAYER INSTALLS BUT WILL NOT RUN

I have installed Flash Player multiple times. The installation indicates it was successful, the Control Panel and list of programs installed indicate that the program is present but when I run a web site that requires it, I get a message that I need to install it. The Adobe Flash Player Help does not indicate that it is installed.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium , 32 bit; service pack 1; IE 9.0.8112 The computer is a Dell Laptop with Intel (R) core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.0 GHz 2.00 GHz with 3.00GB RAM. Tech specs say 2.33 GHz is required. Is this the problem? Are there earlier versions of Flash Point that will work?

I went to the discussion you referenced and did the following ;
Under Internet Options, I disabled Protective Mode and restarted the computer. Flash Player did not work. I then removed Flash Player using Windows uninstall via the Control Panel. I reloaded Flash Player with Protective mode still off. After Flash Player successfully loaded, I turned Protective mode back on ( I didn’t want to run in unprotected mode) I restarted the computer and Flash Player worked and has been ever since. Thank you.

Problem after installing the flash player

Hello
after installing the flash player i can't run some videos from different sites like facebook,
how can i fix it ?
Thank you

After the problem, I have quickly installed the latest graphic driver - but allways the same problem.
Before I have installed the flash player - the power settings - windows energy settings was "Turn off the display after ten minutes." It has always worked correctly.
After I have installed the flash player - the display was gone off - but never go on - I must restart my computer.
Now I must choose "Do never turn off the display". This problem I have since 2010. Until now I did not know why. Now I have reinstalled my computer and every day another programm installed. To see what it is.
This is my PC http://www8.hp.com/de/de/hp-search/search-results.html?ajaxpage=1#/page=1&/cc=de&/lang=de& /qt=WX139EA

Trying to find the URL used when installing Flash player via ActiveX pop-up

I'm trying to determine what URL would be used when a customer clicks on the Activex Pop-up to install Flash player.
I've found a document that indicates the URL used when updating Flash Player via the Auto updater, but I think they are different URLs.... Can anyone help?

thanks guys for the replies.
Just to clarify, I am in no way having troubles installing Flash player. I'm a tech specialist, and have been for many years. I am fully able and aware of how to update Flash player.
What I am trying to get is the URL that would be used when a client click on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" ActiveX Pop-up.
thanks for the URLs you sent, and I do have those, I'm just wondering if any can confirm "as for sure as possible" what URL is used with that ActiveX Pop up.
Our corporate has several web-based products that do NOT work with th emost recent version of Flash Player.
We are trying to find all possible Flash Player installer URLS that are used, so we can block them on our Proxy server.
Thanks again for everyone's reply, and if anyone knows for sure the info I need, please let me know
