Silverlight won't run

When trying to stream a movie from Netflix using Safari, I get the whirling circle that tells me that the processor is attempting to do something. But it appears that Silverlight isn't working properly.  I have removed the program, emptied trash, reinstalled Silverlight, but this hasn't helped.  I am unsure what to try next. Has anyone else had this issue?  I suspect there is a system preference selection that somehow prevents Silverlight from opening.

Hi Tobbi,
SL version 4. Reinstalled many times. Running Windows 7.
Not sure exactly what version I was running prior to 3.6.6.
Tried version 4 beta - didn't work. Found 3.5 and it works.
When I run, I get the white screen with the dots going around in a circle forever (Silverlight loading thing). I could send you a screen shot, but I really don't want to go back to 3.6.6.
I set a break point at the earliest possible place in my code and it never gets there.
Thanks

  • Silverlight won't run on Mac

    I need to use silverlight for some online tests however I cannot get it to work.
    I have downloaded it correctly and the silverlight website tells me I have the correct version and am ready to go but it just won't work.
    It does the loading page and then simply goes white instead of showing the content.
    I have Mac OS X Lion and I have checked that my browser is up to date. I have tried it on both Safari and Firefox.
    I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions because I am at a loss.
    Thanks for your help

    The G4 is running OS 10.2.3.
    I created a test Mac projector in Director then tested it on the same Mac and the .classic and .osx files ran ok.
    Do you think it is an issue with Captivate .app files not being compatible with early version of OS?, or something more fundamental with the .app files and the OS.
    I guess there is no realistic way to convert the Captivate .app file directory to a .osx file?, as there may well be occasions when the package will be used on older Mac OS systems.
    I will try and get it tested on a  later OS System.
    Many Thanks

  • Web-based apps that require Silverlight won't run in Firefox even though the latest version of Silverlight is installed.

    I am running Windows 7 SP1, Firefox 11, and have MS Silverlight v5.0.61118.0 installed along with the Silverlight Plug-In 5.0.61118.0 enabled.
    The problem is I cannot get certain apps to run in Firefox that require MS Silverlight. I keep getting the prompt to install. If I click to install, I'm told the the version of Microsoft Silverlight I'm attempting to install is already installed.
    What more can I do?

    Hi Jojo,
    Similar issue here. I had iPlayer but it 'died' now I can't install it...or any other app such as Adobe Air. I have an outstanding question trying to resolve it as well.

  • I have repeatedly installed and uninstalled Microsoft Silverlight, I have followed every thing out there and uninstalled from various folders.  It still states the program is there and it won't run.  This is also happening with my coupon printer that word

    I have repeatedly installed and uninstalled Microsoft Silverlight, I have followed every thing out there and uninstalled from various folders.  It still states the program is there and it won't run.  This is also happening with my coupon printer that word

    Copied from a page that helped me:
    I followed someone else's advice and found all the silverlight files in "INVISIBLE FILES".
    In the Finder, choose File > Find or press Command (⌘)-F.
    From the far-left pop-up menu (labeled “Kind”), choose Other.
    In the list of search attributes, select the “File invisible” checkbox, and then click OK.
    In the related menu, choose Invisible Items.
    once loaded go to folder Private
    then to folder VAR
    then folder db
    then folder Receipts
    scroll to any com.microsoft.silverlight item and delete. there are a bunch of them.
    close, restart and install silverlight.

  • Certain video won't run.

    The videos that won't run are on the top portion of the msn.com home page. (See screen shot).
    The dotted circle continues to run and run and run....., but the video doesn't play.  The other videos on the page run well. I have tried to run them on Lion (10.7.3) and Snow Leopard (10.6.8), but they won't run on either. I have tried to run on both Firefox 11.0 and Safari 5.1.5. Nothing! I have the latest Flash Player, Silverlight, and Quicktime Player installed. These videos DO run on my Windows Vista laptop, so the problem lies somewhere on my Mac Pro. Could it have anything to do with the graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB)?
    Does anyone know where the problem lies, and of any fix?
    Thanks.

    I'm sorry. I hope I don't sound too clueless, but when you say "account," to what are you referring? Setting up a  new user account? I am running as the Admin. with root access, and the only user on this machine.
    I deleted the FlashPlayer .plist file, but when I then tried to view the videos, the problem was still there.
    Is there any way to identify a corrupted file? I've also repaired the the permissions on both drives, but that wasn't the answer either. Would a corrupted file be found and repaired if I ran disk utility Repair Disk? Is there an app. that can locate and repair a corrupted file?
    As you can see, I'm blindly flailing around just trying to locate the problem. I appreciate your brainstorming this with me.

  • Silverlight won't load .asx file on 13" MkBkPro

    Silverlight won't load .asx file on 13" MkBkPro
    I want to view the streaming video of lectures from a password encoded site where it seems the only app I can use is Microscoft's Silverlight. Problem is that Safari won't initiate the Silverlight plugin on the 13" MacBookPro. The 13" MacBookPro is my main desktop computer; it is attached to a Cinema Display for extra desktop space, thus I really want to use this computer to view the videos. The videos load and play just fine using Safari on my MacBookAir, with a very similar configuration as the MacBookPro.
    I've trashed and re-installed all Silverlight files from the MacBookPro as recommended by the Microsoft Silverlight forum, but still the videos won't load. Just for a brief portion of a second, the "loading" bar appears, but then disappears, leaving me with a black and blank window in Safari on the MacBookPro.
    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on a 13" MacBookPro5,5 AND on a MacBookAir3,1. Both computers are running Safari 5.1 (6534.50). Both computers have the Silverlight plugin (ver 4.0.60531.0) installed within ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins and within ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Silverlight/OutOfBrowser. There is no trace of Silverlight in myaccount/Library/Internet Plug-Ins or in myaccount/Library/Receipts subdirectories on either computer. The only difference I can find between the two computers is their processor, the type of HD, and that the MacBookPro's SLLauncher.app was modifed today (9/24/11), whereas that on the MacBookAir was modified 9/4/11.
    Any suggestions of further things to try to get the videos to play on the MacBookPro?

    I've previously tried that, but just to be sure, I tried again. Tthe only thing that downloads is the html file that contains the link to the video.
    The Silverlight test on the Microsoft web site does not open Silverlight and load when using either Safari 5.1 or Firefox 6.0.2. So the issue on the MacBookPro5,5 involves more than a single streaming video web site or browser.
    I've posted the same original description of the problem on the Silverlight forum. No responses. I'll try sending it to Microsoft as a problem installing Silverlight. That's supposed to be "no charge".
    Thanks for your time and advice.

  • CS3 installs but won't run

    Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
    My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
    When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
    I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
    I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
    I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
    I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
    The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
    We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
    So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
    errrrr
    Anybody have any clues on this?

    Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
    I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
    And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
    Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
    Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
    Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
    Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
    I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
    The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
    I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
    They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
    The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
    The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
    Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
    And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
    Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
    Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
    Not sure what my next move is.

  • How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?

    Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
    This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
    Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
           Tags (edit): none (add)  
    Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
    I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
    So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
    P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??

    Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).

  • Action steps that won't run correctly in PSE 7/8/9 (but did in 4 and 6)

    I have a wonderful action that was written to work in PSE 3/4/6.  It won't run in PSE 7/8/9.  After fooling around for a while, I think I understand why.  Adobe changed the way Adjustment Layers are handled.  In earlier versions of Photoshop and Elements, Adjustment Layers threw up a modal dialog box.  That changed so that Adjustment Layers now appear in the Palette Bin as a palette.
    Here a sample of some of the action steps that won't work correctly:
    Make adjustment layer
    Using: adjustment layer
    Type: levels
    Set Selection
    To: none
    Set current layer
    To: layer
    Name:  “Adjustment 1”
    Set current layer
    To: layer
    Mode: luminosity
    Stop
    Message:  “Move gray slider left”
    With Continue
    Set current adjustment layer
    To: levels
    In earlier versions of PS and PSE, the way these steps would work is that a new adjustment layer would be created, the dialog box giving the instruction would open, it would be dismissed by clicking "Continue," and then the "Set current adjustment layer to: Levels" would generate a model adjustment layer dialog box would open up which would let one make the adjustment.
    In newer versions, since Adjustment Layers are handled in the Palette Bin, after dismissing the instructions, the action doesn't stop to allow the user to make change the sliders on the adjustment layer.
    The action runs perfectly in CS4 and CS5 and throws up the levels adjustment modal box as it did in PSE 4 and PSE 6, but the action doesn't throw the modal box in PSE 7/8/9
    Does anyone know of a way to alter the action steps to allow the action to stop to allow the adjustment and then to resume again?

    Adding a new levels adjustment layer on top of the Midtone contrast layer
    should work, just use a clipping mask to restrict the adjustments to the
    areas of the levels adjustment layer below. The histogram will be different, but
    actually testing the action is really the only way to know if that makes any difference.
    Replacing the levels adjustment layer is another option, though it requires a few more steps.
    The following assumes when the action gets to this point,
    the Midtone contrast adjustment layer is the active (selected) layer.
    To record this part of the action:
    1. Duplicate current channel (in the channels panel. drag the Midtone contrast mask
        down to the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the channels panel)
    2. Ctrl+click on the newly created channel (Midtone contrast mask copy)
        This loads the selection of that channel.
    3. Drag the new channel (midtone contrast mask copy) to the trash icon at the bottom
       of the channels panel.
    4. Back in the layers panel, delete the Midtone Contrast adjustment layer.
    5. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
        This creates a new levels adjustment layer using the selection loaded from
        the duplicated channel and opens the levels dialog.
    To load the RGB (composite) as a selection, Ctrl+click on the rgb in the channels panel
    and the same is true for the red, green and blue channels.
    With layer masks, elements doesn't seem to want to load them as selections in actions,
    so that's the reason for the action steps above.

  • CS2 won't run

    CS2 won't run, says activation code no longer usable. Been running win7 on this system 3 years. Adobe says it won't activate in win7. Well, it did, and ran just fine. what's up?

    I assume when you say "Adobe says it won't activate in win7" that you talked to customer support....
    A drive change could trigger the need for reactivation.  Did you tell them that you're running from a mirrored drive?
    It sounds to me that they're being aggressive about trying to get you to upgrade when they should still be supporting you with active maintenance of their activation database.
    But unfortunately if you can't get them to adjust their database you're out of luck.

  • I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

    I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart the computer to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

    I ended up putting it in DFU mode.  It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
    Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
    So I used redsn0w.  I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
    Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

  • How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

    The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
    Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
    Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
    HELP!

    Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
    Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
    I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

    I had the same problem on CentOS 6.2 x86_64, albeit not on EC2. It seems that the installer creates a symlink to the i686 libpcap (libcap.so.1 -> /lib/libcap.so.2) and fmsedge won't run with it. Manually removing that symlink and instead linking to the libcap.so.2 in /lib64 solved the problem for me.
    cd /opt/adobe/fms
    rm libcap.so.1
    ln -s /lib64/libcap.so.2 libcap.so.1
