Unusual results of the Shockwave/Flash test page with IE-8

Windows XP computer. Has IE-8, Google Chrome and Opera 10. On both Chrome and Opera the Shockwave and Flash test site displays properly. However in IE-8 the Shockwave portion flickers and causes IE to seemingly lock up. Only a TaskMgr abort of the IE instance will clear it. Also any attempt to set or modify the Shockwave player settings freezes, but works fine in Opera and Chrome.
I've done lots of diagnostics and everything seems to be loaded correctly. IE still displays both Shockwave & Flash content correctly. It just seems to have a issue with the test site and other Adobe URLs. The code is properly registered, and IE has appropriate Add-on rights for the two Adobe products. 
The Adobe home site displays with the movie Avatar content using Chrome/Opera but not using IE-8.
I've spent the better part of today trying to resolve this and needless to say am not happy that these recent updates don't work as expected. Doesn't any software vendor these days actually test their releases before posting to the public ?

Resolved: Something in the user profile was responsible. I re-built the profile and restored FAST settings and Flash/Shockwave & the test site now are all working properly

  • How can I print the test page with the Arabic type from the command line

    Hi,
    I have been trying to make the tool for printing the test page from the command line on the Arabic OS. I used "rundll32 printui dll printuientry" with "/k /n" options. My tool is to print the test page in all OS when pushing the
    button.
    Normally, in the Arabic Windows, the test page is printed with RTL type when printing the test page in the "Devices and Printers". But in my tool, the test page is printed with LTR type. I'm confused because of this result.
    Is it possilbe to print the test page with RTL type when using the "rundll32 printui dll printuientry"? If it is possible, could anyone give me the hint or information for resolving?
    Please check for me.

  • The Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 plugin check says "VULNERABLE" and suggest an update for Adobe flash player 10.1. It may disable my antivirus. Is this safe? Is it the right update?

    I have Firefox 3.6.10.
    When I checked for plug-ins updates, it opened the "plug-in check" page and showed the Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 as "vulnerable", explaining a potential security vulnerability and suggesting to update to latest version if existent, or if not,disable the plugin.
    The Adobe security advisory suggests to upgrade to the newest version Adobe Flash Player 10.1.85.3.
    When I click on it, it says Adobe Flash Player 10.1 only. It also says: "You may have to temporarily disable your antivirus software". Is this safe? Also: how do I know that the 10 . 1 version is the same as the 10.1.85.3 version?

    The [http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ Adobe Flash Player] page refers to 10.1, but the full version details for the latest release is 10.1 r85 which is a security update. You can get it from the above link, or use the manual installers available from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    You should not have to disable the Anti-virus software in order to install Flash, only do that if is is interfering with the installation.

  • Installing Flash 11 appears successful but doesn't reveal movie on Adobe flash test page

    repeated attempts to install flash 11 (successfully) have not eliminated the error when I use the Adobe Flash Test screen/movie.

    Pat,
    I'VE READ THE LATEST ATTACHMENTS TO THE EMAIL BELOW.  They require screen shots of error messages WHICH I'VE ALREADY PROVIDED.
    My reaction to the latest email is that no one took the time to actually understand what I've already communicated.
    But, here another copy of the error for your reference.
    I also get this error (red and yellow areas) when launching You Tube:
    Sooooooooooo...  To summarize...
    I've performed the clean install including using Adobe's special uninstall utility and carefully hunting down and erasing all of the litter Flash Player leaves behind even after it's uninstalled.
    The error messages shown above are the headaches I still have.
    If all else fails, we can go low-tech and CALL ME.
    Thank you,

  • How do I get back the "old" new tab page with 9 tiles instead of 8?

    I find the 8/12 tiles (If pressed Ctrl+scrollwheel down) annoying, is there any way the get the classic "new tab" page with 9 tiles back?
    Ps I already tried changing the number of colums (5 to 3) about:config / browser.newtabpage.colums I got 9 tiles but it looks awful

    Thanks for that.
    But how do I get it back as it was..... before they messed it up?
    I don't want smaller text.
    And, as I said in my first post, NewTabTools deletes the Google Search Frame. (which i want)
    I just want my 9 tiles (at least) with the Google search form...'''.as it was'''.

  • How do I fix the "shockwave flash" error, causing firefox to lock up, slow, or crash?

    continous errors about "shockwave flash", "script has stopped working" etc, causing numerous slowdowns, lock-ups, and crashes. have tried several fixes, but none have worked.....please advise

    Is it a permissions problem? Here's another way.
    (1) In a My Computer or Windows Explorer window, open this folder:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    If that folder does not exist, then you are using 32-bit Windows, and you can open the following folder instead:
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    ''(Note: This folder exists on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, but on 64-bit Windows Firefox uses the Flash player in the SysWOW64 folder instead.)''
    (2) Check for a file named mms.cfg:
    (A) ''If mms.cfg exists,'' drag it to your '''Documents folder''' where you can edit it without being bothered about administrator privileges
    (B) ''If mms.cfg does not exist,'' open your '''Documents folder''', right-click > New > Text File and name the new file mms.cfg
    (3) Open mms.cfg from Documents into a text editor such as Notepad. Add this on its own line (I put it last):
    ProtectedMode=0
    Save the file and close Notepad.
    (4) Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the mms.cfg file back to the Flash folder to make a copy there, keeping the original in Documents
    This change should take effect the next time you restart Firefox.
    Hopefully that works around the permission issue.

  • Soap response the web service test page

    Figured out that the testWS.jws is deployed to use ssl. But the wsdl generated has http. It works fine after I manually changed to https.

  • LaserWriter 630 only prints the vertical lines test page

    I have resurrected a LaserWriter 630 pro that hasn't been used for a year or so, which starts up and the green ready light comes on. When I print to it, the pages come out blank. I have tried printing a simple text file, which was blank, and a one page PDF (simple text also). In the end the PDF took so long to process I cancelled it. Should it take this long?
    The only ink I can get it to leave on the page is the first page of the paperclip-in-hole test page. It then prints a second page which is blank. Any ideas?
    I have a copy of the Apple Printer Utility, and have printed it's font test page, which is blank also.
    Any ideas?
    James

    Dear Grant,
    Thank you for the info, I hadnt found that detail anywhere. I will try it when I get home.
    I think the laserwriter is a great printer, and wouldnt swap it for a brand new one unless it caught fire!
    I gave it to my mother 2 years ago who used it for a while, then bought a colour inkjet and it ended up unused for a year or so. I have just taken it back to replace a much newer but much more irritating colour laser I found at the dump. I believe the last time it was used it worked perfectly. I gave it a new set of rollers about two years ago.
    I am not afraid of a bit of multimeter probing!
    Thanks,
    James

  • I have the latest Adobe flash player installed but it does not show up in my add-ons or plug-ins on Firefox 3.6. In the plug-in check, it recognizes that the shockwave flash is up to date. How can I have the plug-in appear and be enabled on firefox?

    I have uninstalled the flash player and installed it numerous times with no recognition by the Firefox plug-ins. I also have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it as well. I have also restarted my computer several times as well. The flash player is certainly installed but not working on Firefox. Thanks in advance for your help.

    James j,
    You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
    See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

  • Shockwave/Flash Player crashes with every browser...Ugh.

    I can't find a solution in this forum although a lot of people seem to be asking this question. Flash crashes constantly and it doesn't matter if I use Chrome, Firefox or IE. It's quite unbearable. I don't have multiple Flash players and if an add-on is causing this, I can't draw a link between it crashing and me disabling them. I've scanned for malware and gotten rid of anything found. No viruses that my virus protection reports. The problem just gets worse. It used to be occasionally, then multiple times a day, now its pretty much anytime I want to use Flash...which seems to be constantly. It freezes my computer then an error message comes up and says Shockwave player has crashed. I have updated shockwave and flash, so I have the most recent versions....any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    If your machine had a recent malware infection, you might want to consider backing up your critical files and starting fresh.  It takes time for antivirus and anti-malware packages to discover and push signatures for new viruses, and it's standard practice to deploy new malware to ensure that an attacker maintains their foothold on a compromised machine.
    If it was my personal machine, I would back up any critical data files, wipe the machine and re-install everything from pristine sources.  Not exactly convenient, but you can be reasonably sure that the system is running the software you expect (discounting the possibility of malware that compromises the system BIOS).
    That said, there's not a lot of actionable information here.  I'd recommend uninstalling Flash Player and re-installing fresh.  You actually have three different Flash Players -- there's an ActiveX control for Internet Explorer, the NPAPI plug-in for Firefox and the PPAPI Flash Player for Chrome.  The PPAPI Flash Player for Chrome is totally encapsulated -- it doesn't even share settings.
    SO... malware aside, the next most likely culprit is graphics drivers.  Each of the independent Flash Player installations attempts to use a hardware accelerated feature (like video playback), but the driver crashes.  Typically updating the graphics drivers would resolve this, or you can experiment with disabling hardware acceleration.  How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration? Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?

  • Shockwave Flash Object interfering with printer operation.

    When I try to send a job to my printer, a print job titled "Shockwave Flash Object" is also being sent to the printer, and prevents the printer from working.  I don't even have Shockwave installed on my computer.

  • How to print header lines at the top of every page with Alv list display?

    Dear all,
    I need a requirement with printing issue. A program list should be printed with the function reuse_alv_list_display.
    The list has several pages and then can be printed but the header lines appear only first page when they printed. The other pages don't have header lines, they continue with the next record of the list remaining from previous page. I use the alv parameters as below:
      CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
        EXPORTING
          i_callback_program       = l_repid
          i_callback_pf_status_set = 'ALV_PF_STATUS'
          is_layout                = ls_layo
          it_fieldcat              = lt_fcat
          i_default                = 'X'
          i_save                   = 'A'
          is_variant               = ls_variant
          it_events                = lt_events
        TABLES
          t_outtab                 = lt_data
        EXCEPTIONS
          program_error            = 1
          OTHERS                   = 2.
    and lt_events as below:
      ls_event-name = 'END_OF_LIST'.
      ls_event-form = 'ALV_END_OF_LIST'.
      APPEND ls_event TO lt_events.
      ls_event-name = 'END_OF_PAGE'.
      ls_event-form = 'ALV_END_OF_PAGE'.
      APPEND ls_event TO lt_events.
      ls_event-name = 'TOP_OF_LIST'.
      ls_event-form = 'ALV_TOP_OF_LIST'.
      APPEND ls_event TO lt_events.
      ls_event-name = 'TOP_OF_PAGE'.
      ls_event-form = 'ALV_TOP_OF_PAGE'.
      APPEND ls_event TO lt_events.
    So, how can I print header lines for every page?
    Best Regards,

    Hello Saba,
    Your point might be very close to solution.
    Because in the selection screen of the program there are two radio buttons, one of them visits 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE' function and the other doesn't. The one which visits has a problem with header liens in every page when printing. But I couldn't find out the solution yet.
    reuse_alv_list_display uses 4 event and of course I call subroutine. There are end_of_list, end_of_page, top_of_list and top_of_page. I use in the subroutine for top_of_page:
      CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_TRANSFER_TO_SLIS'
        EXPORTING
          it_fieldcat_lvc         = gt_fcat
        IMPORTING
          et_fieldcat_alv         = lt_fcat
        EXCEPTIONS
          it_data_missing         = 1
          it_fieldcat_lvc_missing = 2
          OTHERS                  = 3.
      CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_WIDTH_GET'
        EXPORTING
          it_fieldcat = lt_fcat
        IMPORTING
          e_width     = l_width.
    WRITE l_reptx TO l_reptx CENTERED.
      NEW-LINE.
      WRITE: AT (l_width) l_reptx CENTERED.
      SUBTRACT 10 FROM l_width.
      WRITE: AT l_width sy-pagno RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.
        CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE'
          EXPORTING
            it_list_commentary       = lt_header
      I_LOGO                   =
      I_END_OF_LIST_GRID       =
    Do you have other suggestions ?
