Very wierd flash problem

Hi today i came back to my pc after leaving it to defrag over night, when i went on to youtube earlier it informed me that i didn't have flash installed when i know for a fact i did, so i went into add/remove programs and the flash activex and the plugin were not there! Last night there was Air/Flash ActiveX/Flash Plugin and Reader. The activex and plugin have just uninstalled themselves! When i look in program files there is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Player\AddIns\airappinstaller\" in that folder there is adobe air installer and a digest.s file, flash player folder is empty except addins folder and that folder is empty except for airappinstaller folder. Also in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash" there is Flash10n.ocx file ActiveX Control. WTH! Now this gets even better. When i go to get.adobe.com/flashplayer and download the file i get "install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe" and it says "Description: Adobe Flash Player Installer, Company: Solid State Networks" When i downloaded the 11 beta i got "flashplayer11_b1_install_win_pi32_071311.exe" Description: Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.0 d1, Company: Adobe Systems Inc.
What the hell is going on here? i uploaded the "solid state networks" file to virustotal none of the scanners flagged it but there is community members who say it is malware. Sorry if i'm going a bit in circles i'm just completely stunned as to what's just happened this has never happened before. I really hope i can get some help on this, thank you very much.
Also the icons for the files are completely different

I have my theory as for how your Flash Player got uninstalled. Do you have automatic updates (Flash Player) enabled?
It would also be interesting to know the contents of FlashInstall.log in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
As already indicated in the other topic, it would be best if you uninstalled the current Flash Player completely using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and reinstall the latest version from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

A VERY wierd booting problem: no dual boot nor boot from ide

in reading the title, you're probably thinking that i haven't even booted successfully at all. in fact, my setup is a raptor 74GB (sata), seagate ide 200GB, and a seagate sata 400GB, and a western digital ide 80GB, with the raptor being the primary drive to boot from in the bios. in a normal boot state, my computer boots from the raptor and with absolutely no problems. the problem i'm having is twofold and i think they are related: firstly, if i load the setup for windows xp on the the 80GB (it's for a customer of mine), i set in the bios that it should load from the 80GB before the raptor and then i restart. before any boot happens it says that the boot failed and then attempts to run a few other boot agents, a couple by nvidia and one by intel (swear to god there intel in there, i dont know what it is doing on a amd board). i dont have the exact error written down but i fail to load from the ide. also, i have wanted to run a dual boot windows xp/fedora core 3 x86_64 from 2 different partitions on my raptor. fedora installs fine and when it comes time for a boot loader to ask me whether i want windows xp or fedora, the screen never shows and windows loads. i did install fedora after windows so the issue shouldnt be there. i am not technically disinclined, very much the opposite however it bugs me that i can't do any of this. my bios is the latest 1.40, my motherboard is the k8n neo2 platinum, proc 3500+, ocz plat rev.2, if any of this information is at all relavent.

Quote from: JER101 on 12-February-05, 20:27:45
Changing the boot order in the bios dosn't create a boot sector. All it does is define the order the motherboard will look for boot sectors.
When ever youi install an OS it will create or modify a boot sector. You need to be aware of which disk it is modifying at the time.
When installing for dual booting you have to know if the second OS can recognise the boot sector created by the previous OS. Some do not and delete the previous and create a new one just for that OS.
I knew all that already, what i meant by changing the boot order was to allow the 80GB to be booted before the raptor, but if there's a dual boot on the raptor, clearly the bios wouldn't be able to detect that until it was time to boot. what I want to know is why when a boot sector is made for a dual boot or a boot sector is made for an ide hard drive, it doesnt go to the sata boot sector and in the case of the ide, it fails to boot completely.

Help! My Imac has a very wierd screen problem!

Hey all Mac users.
I really hope that someone here can help me. A few minutes ago my screen went totally bananas! I was using photoshop when it happened. It didn't seem that my programs were affected, just my screen. I could see my mouse and move it on the screen.
This is the first time a thing like this has happened. I manually turned off the computer to restart it.
Here's a picture of what it looked like:
A friend told me that i should get a hardware/memory test but i think you need a cd for that or something? I am so bad at these computer problems..
I really hope that someone can tell me what's going on with my mac. I really don't hope that it will happen again!

Yes there is a hardware test you can run. Quite possibly it's still on the hard drive's hidden partition if you don't have the disks. More information about that here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1883
So what happened after you restarted the computer? Does - or did - the problem only occur while running Photoshop? If it has only happened once I'd wait and see if it does it again. It may have been just a one time glitch.

Very wierd problem... can barely describe it

For some reason when I start some games the screen goes haywire. I dont even know how to really describe it. Everything will be unstable. For instace. I downloaded the Lord of the Rings demo for PC. When I started the game the sceen was blinking and flashing in a very wierd manner. I could see the characters, but It looked like the lighting was bouncing off of them wrong. It just look like the colors didnt know where they were suppose to be. Like I said, its hard for me to describe it because I absolutely have no clue as to what could be doing this.
I have the Geforce4 ti4400 128mb. It did this with the 30.82 drivers. I updated the drivers to the 40.71 drivers and it did that. Then I updated it to the beta 40.72 drivers and it is still doing that. Now in everything else as far as day to day computer activity, its fine. Nothing ever happens. Its only when I load some games. The last game it did this on was the Deadly Dozen demo. But it worked on the new James Bond and WWE Raw demo's.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid37/p52a363cde89924414f11ff419181a65c/fd18dcc3.jpg This is a screenshot I took. Now, it doesnt look as bad in the screenshot because everytime I would hit the button to take it, the screen would calm down for the split second that I had the button pressed. But you can still see that its not right. Just imagine it being a lot worse than that. I really have no clue of what the problem is. Also it just does wierd flickering at times while in games. Can anybody help?
The pic may look a lil small to some and it may not look as bad while it is small. If it is, i guess you can just save it or something and zoom in and look at it a normal screen size. It really looks bad.

Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

Hi All!
I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites). I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon. I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively. I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                        NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                        PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin?
My second question regards the installation of Flash. I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do. Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved. Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem? If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
Well, that's all the new info I have. I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed! I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
Thanks in advance for your help!

DogPal
Here's my previous post:
Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
Hi!
I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
My attempts to resolve the problem were:
1. Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
2. Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
3. Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
4. Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
5. Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
6. Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
7. Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
8. Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
     same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen. Even
     though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
     thought I should mention it).
9. I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
     for 2 sites.
I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are:
                                    http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                    http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha). I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate! I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer. If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal
P.S. I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is! (I told you I'm clueless!)

I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1. It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7. It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Firefox not helping with Flash problem

Ok, so, I'm getting really irritated with Flash. I talked to
a friend who was having flash problems and they said they
downloaded Firefox and it fixed the problem. Well, after doing
EVERYTHING else first, I thought, what the heck, maybe it might
actually work. So I downloaded and installed Firefox. Ok, that
installed perfectly fine. So I used Firefox to download Flash 9. I
thought all was going to work out, because Firefox didn't just
refresh the page like Internet Explorer did whenever I clicked the
"Agree and download now" button on the download page. It actually
downloaded and "said" it installed correctly. But I still can't
play ANYTHING no Youtube STILL!! I go to youtube on Firefox and
aperently it doesn't regonize any Flash on my computer. I go to
youtube on Internet Ex. and it says I need the latest version of
Flash. I tried rebooting the computer. I tried uninstalling and
installing it AGAIN. What the F is the problem? I've made sure all
my AxtiveX controlls are set to whatever thry need to be, my
Shockwave is updated, my security is not interfearing. I'm getting
really pissed. I've been trying to fix this problem for months
now!! What else could be going wrong?? Is there something I haven't
tried yet? Do I just need to get a new F-ing computer? Someone
help!!

Well the first thing you need to understand is this...
Flash Player for Windows Internet Explorer is an ActiveX
control.
Flash Player for Windows for ALL other browsers is a plugin.
They do the same thing ultimately, but they're separate
downloads and on your machine they're actually seperate bits of
software.
So the reason that so many people have success with Firefox
is that the Flash Player plugin seldom has install failures. But
for IE Windows users the Flash Player activex control often has
permission-related install failures that cause these kind of
issues. It's unfortunate, but very, very complex and we've been
fighting it for a long time.
So the thing to remember is that when you're talking about
Firefox, you're not dealing with ActiveX controls in ANY way.
So here's the question.. When you launch JUST Firefox, and go
to this page, what do you see?

Very Strange Bluetooth Problem

Hi There
My mac seems to have developed a very strange bluetooth problem. When i try to connect my mighty mouse, it 'connects' then a couple seconds later disconnects, then connects and disconnects etc. during the time that it is apparently connected, the LED on the bottom of the mouse keeps flashing in the way it does when it's searching for a connection, which tells me it ain't connected at all.
Thinking this was just a mighty mouse problem i try connect my iPhone, same problem. This time I do it with the bluetooth preferences open i notice that the status of the iPhone connection has gone funny (like it has not connected on top of the word connected in the status, one atop the other) this weirdness happens irrespective of what you connect, and only to the iPhone status, even if it's bluetooth is off.
This weird status thing has happened before, when i was messing about with bluetooth tethering on my iPhone. So, naturally, i assume the iPhone's buggered up the system somehow. I remove it from the list of paired things and try the mouse again, no luck. I try to re add the mouse, but the pairing process doesn't complete itself before the mouse drops signal again. I can't re-pair my iPhone either for the same reason.
how can i fix this?
Cheers, Joe

Hey there,
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences.
Locate, and move to the Trash, this file com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.
If still no luck, try zapping the PRAM to see if that helps. Instructions on how to do that can be found [HERE|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379].

Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
Thank you

The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.

Flash problem after software update (on 10.6.8)

I'm having flash problems on *some* macs after one of the recent software updates (june 2012).
On my school's 10 iMac's (2010), I can't play flash games anymore *in safari*. Chrome is ok.
An example site, is http://www.barryfunenglish.com/games.php (select any game)
But on my school's 6 MacBook Pro's, I can - both safari and chrome.
It was working 2 weeks ago on all computers.
I'm using Software Update server from our server to update all the macs, so it's possible there was an update problem.
Why is flash missing on the 10 imacs safari? But not on the macbook pros?

AppleJason wrote:
so did Apple uninstall flash on safari with it's latest update? do you know the reason?
Yes, it was blacklisted by Adobe for security vulnerabilities. OS X now checks to make certain you are running a safe version and disables it if you aren't.
With the latest update, you now have the option of having Adobe doing a "Silent Update" in the background without your having to do anything. I would recommend you implement it.

Very Strange Internet Problems

I own a MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch that I purchased about a year and a half ago. I recently upgraded to Leopard and have all the latest updates. I am from the US, and when I am home my internet works fine. However, I am on travel to Seoul, South Korea right now and am having a very strange internet problem.
As far as I can tell, the URLs that I type in to my browser are, sparodially, not translated correctly into the webpages that they are supposed to represent. This problem is probably effective 75% of the time, and the rest of the time my internet works roughly correctly. For instance, when I enter http://www.google.com, instead of being taken to the Google homepage, I am taking to the homepage of Jammin Beats DJ Service, an obscure website about a company in northern Pennsylvania. The actual URL of this website is http://www.jamminbeats.com, but when my internet is malfunctioning, 'jamminbeats' is for all intensive purposes replaced by 'google' (that is, it applies not only to the main page, but to sub pages, so "http://www.google.com/weddings" takes you to "http://www.jamminbeats.com/weddings" and etc). For most other webpages, one of two things happens. Either I am taken to the correct page but it is displayed without any images or frames (just the html text and links), or I am taken to a blank page with the header "Under Construction", which I assume is the default for a page that doesn't exist. This is why it seems as though the URLs are simply being interpretted erroneously.
This problem occurs when connecting both to the wireless and the wired internet at my hotel, and it occurs on both Safari and Firefox, so it is not a connection-specific or browser-specific problem. It may be a problem with the hotel's internet, and as of yet I have not had a chance to test the computer at another location. However, a colleague using an IBM computer has had no problems, and I am currently on a Samsung machine in the business center of the hotel and it is working correctly as well. I have searched extensively online for a similar problem but have come up empty handed, and more than anything, I am confused about what might be causing this problem. The strangest thing is that a fraction of the time, the internet functions normally, but it is usually roughly 15 minutes out of every hour, and eventually I am inevitably taken back to Jammin Beats.
I am a computer science graduate but I still have no idea what would cause this problem. At first I thought it might be a hacker, but if it is, he or she has been at it consistently for 3 days now, and only seems to be targeting my computer. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated, as I have been forced to resort to the hotel's business center for checking email, doing work, etc. Thanks in advance.

I did consider that, as I was in Beijing last week and there are a number of censored sites. However, in Korea I have had problems with very basic sites like facebook, wall street journal, google, yahoo, Korean google, my hotel's webpage, etc. Further, I have successfully gotten all of these sites to load seemingly at random, and can access them without problems on other computers. The only disconnect seems to be between my MBP and the internet, not between Korean internet and the web. I have toyed around with the network settings, and although sometimes after switching from "Automatic" to a fixed connection I get some sites to work, it usually only lasts a short time and eventually the same sites stop working. I reset my cache regularly to make sure I'm not getting sent to cached sites, but this also doesn't help. Further, my Apple Mail, Skype and AIM accounts jump between being connected and disconnected randomly as well. Again, this is isolated to my own computer, which is why I'm so confused.

Flash problem in IE - not the usual one.

I am new to the game here. I've created some pages that use a
Flash video player. The user can click on a list of available
videos (XML generated), and the video will load in the player and
play.
Works fine in IE and Safari on Mac.
Works terrible in Firefox on Mac and Windows (seems to need
to buffer for a long time before play starts - longer than the
specified buffer time).
In IE for Windows - videos play fine and load fast. but -
activating a video seems to "lock out" the rest of the page -
rendering the ability to click through to other links not possible.
Eventually, if i smash around enough, i can get a link to work -
but its a terrible experience. This doesn't seem to be the "usual"
Flash problem in IE (ie click to activate) - but I'm new - so this
may be a related issue?
Help??? I don't even know where to begin.
address:
http://64.38.28.254
thank you in advance.

Try changing the line:
td { }
in your CSS file 'basic.css' to:
td { vertical-align: top; }
This will align all table cells on your web site to the top.

Hi Mush25-
I had to step back from this and take a different approach.
While tossin' down some aspirins, I worked on my other niece's
laptop to upgrade to FP10 and troubleshoot. Identical to T2, but
with more Yahoo stuff: homepage, toolbar, chat, etc.. Turns out she
had already done it via Adobe yes/no prompt. No issues, everything
works OK. She said it only took a few minutes. I checked it out and
checked the settings, it's OK. Go figure.....
So, I will approach this as a problem with Manual
Downloading, which you and I did (not sure about Morac).
The HP desktop? We don't normally use IE7 on it, as it is AOL
Dial-up only, so few/no cookie issues on IE7. I kicked in IE7 and
FP10 worked OK. Well, as OK as dial-up video can be....
OK- a question for ya, this will tell me if I'm on the right
track: On your first FP10 upgrade, did you FIRST uninstall FP9, or
download/install OVER FP9? Please answer honestly....no judgements
here...
I didn't uninstall first- I admit it! I never do for Adobe
and Java, as I want to make sure the new version/upgrade works OK
before losing the old. I was on the old dial-up for too long, I
guess. There are exceptions, of course, like AVG.
Let me know.

Do I need to drop Mozilla since they can't seem to solve the Adobe Flash problem?

I have followed every step suggested to fix Adobe Flash crashing problem. Is the real solution to just drop Mozilla and switch to Chrome? Seem Adobe Flash works just fine there...

By the way, it would be useful if you could mention which settings you have changed. The headline suggestions for working around Flash problems usually include the following:
(1) Disable protected mode (Win Vista and Win 7 only)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Check for and resolve conflicts with Firefox add-ons (e.g., using Safe Mode or a clean profile)
(4) For display issues with scrolling, disable Smooth Scrolling and Autoscrolling here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General
