Why a black screen upon exiting Reader 9?

I can open PDF files, read them, and prnt them. I am using Firefox as my browser. When I close the PDF screen, I get a black screen. I would think that the PDF reader should close and return me to the screen from whence I opened the PDF. I have to click my BACK arrow to remove the black screen. This is a PAIN in the BUTT. What do I need to do to repair this?

Hi, That sucks,
While waiting for your reply, I did a lot of searching online and a couple of really skilled computer people put it down to two Microsoft updates, I'll find the numbers and post them here.
Beside that here is something that might actually work:
Find a computer person,
Have them remove the hard drive,
Use some computer wires or docking station to turn the hard drive into a huge USB
Plug the docking (and hard drive) station it into another computer
Open a dos window access the hard drive and delete those updates,
Take the hard drive and put it back into the computer to see if it works.
IF
That doesn't work, - deleting the MS updates,
Then copy over the important files from the hard drive to the computer
and then use the Dos window or Windows explorer to reformat the hard drive.
Put the hard drive back into the computer, and use the win 7 disks to re-install, or try Linux Mint the free Operating system that has no MS hassles.
This is what I am going to try,
Will let you know how it goes, it might be a couple of days.

  • IOS app rejected due to a blank, black screen upon launch

    I recently got my iPhone app rejected and the reason is below:
    "We found that your app exhibited one or more bugs, when reviewed on iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.3, on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
    Specifically, the app displayed a blank, black screen upon launch. Please see the attached screenshot/s for more information.
    The steps to reproduce are:
    1. Launch app
    2. Bug encountered"
    I use FlashDevelop and the latest Apache Flex + Air SDK 3.7 + swfversion=20. I don't have an iPhone 5 to test on but I've tested the application on a 3GS, iPod touch (4th gen.) on IOS 4.3, 5.1 and 6.1.3 (latest) and the application works on all of them.
    The attached screenshot mentioned above is here:
    the "blank" screen is actually a deep blue one, which the color I've set to my project's background.
    I didn't make any special modifications in the code to support iPhone 5 to be honest, and the project dimensions were set to 640x960, but I did include the [email protected], and it shows inside the .ipa at Payload/Myapp.app/
    In almost all the iPhone 5 discussions I've read online, theat launch problem is due to the [email protected] not being there in the root of the release .ipa, but I'm sure it does exist on my ipa. Also, I have request high resolution set to high, and the Info.plist has the correct DTPlatformVersion (6.0) and DTSDKName (iphoneos6.0).
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    Thanks.

    Remember - they gave you a very specific device and version. It might be working on all other configurations. So if you are unable to get your hands on that device and version you are going to be left stabbing in the dark as to what is going wrong.
    My advice would just be to figure out what's different with that device and make sure everything is configured properly.
    Another option - if you don't want this app on the iPad anyway - is to remove it from the configuration:
    <key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
    <array>
              <string>1</string>
              <string>2</string>
    </array>
    You would delete the <string>2</string> part.

    This had previously been on forums last week in Mac Mini section with the help of 'BDAqua' however im out of options and need some more help. If anyone could be helpful enough to give some suggestions on why my screen is black upon waking up (exc. notifications. they appear) and most time i need to hard reboot (sometimes i can type in password and it unlocks).
    I can not afford to start fresh, i have a 110GB iTunes Library with 210 iOS apps and photos too important to me to be forgotten.
    PLEASE HELP ME

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Black Screen upon login

    After booting up arch I log in and 3/4 of my screen is black with 1/4 of the screen at the top left visible. I am currently using 64 bit arch, and I tried resting all nvidia configurations but that didin't fix the problem. Also the rest of screen seems to be active, however just not visible.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thank you in advance.

    carl_tw wrote:What kind of graphics card do you use?
    Probably nvidia since it is stated in the post. 
    There seem to be a number of these black screen issues.  Have you tried a forum search?  I'm sorry but I don't know a solution myself.

  • Black screen upon wakeup after longer sleep...

    In the last 2 months or so, I have seen my MacMini 2011 OSX 10.7.3 crashing withing a minute of wakeup, after sleeps of more than 2-3 hours.
    Sometimes the Black screen occurs almost immediately, sometimes it takes up to a minute after the desktop appears (after logging in).
    This did not occur until I got 10.7.3 and only within the last 2 months.

    Anyone?
    I am up to 100 crashes upon wakeup now. Various versions of Lion 10.7.x. I have done clean installs as well.
    Does anyone else get the black screen of death shortly after wakeup from sleep?
    This never happened on 10.7.0, 10.7.1 or 10.7.2
    Crashes happen in both 10.7.3 and now 10.7.4, and for sleeps as short as 90 minutes.

  • Again getting black screen after Exiting Safe Mode in Windows 8 as suggested by hp

    I'm again getting black screen after entering safe mode after upgrade to Windows and exiting from safe mode but after exiting my laptop display was of 8.b but after some time it again went back to same black screen problem .I disabled Intel and amd hd 86graphics driver in safe mode.please help .

    Hi there ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! I have looked into the issue you are having with your display Turning Black after entering Safe Mode.  I found a document for you called Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot. It would be very helpful for me to know what has been done already so that I can narrow down what troubleshooting would be best for you. You mentioned in your post "again". Is it an intermittent issue? Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post with the results of the steps in the document, and any other troubleshooting steps you had tried and the results. Have a great day!

  • Black screen upon waking from sleep

    Hello,
    I have an intermittent problem with waking my entry-level MBP from sleep; on some occasions, the screen remains black instead of the system waking up and displaying the Finder.
    Recently, upon waking from sleep, the authentication dialog displayed, I typed my password and pressed return, the dialog dismissed, the screen remained black, and the wait cursor displayed without spinning.
    To recover, I needed to force power down and cold reboot.
    system.log (in Console) contained the following entry at the time of the crash.
    Aug 14 07:39:51 BF-H-MBP kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify ErrorAug 14 07:39:51 BF-H-MBP kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0xd = GR: SW Notify Error
    The entries surrounding the one above were as follows (the next to last one evidently was the final entry before the forced power down).

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Thanks for taking time to post.
    My question is different than the one your posting answers.
    My question is, what is the diagnosis of the problem based upon the Console log entries that I've posted (rather than "How do I recover from the black screen?")?
    Cheers!

  • Macbook Air (mid-2013) Black Screen Upon Opening Screen

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a mid-2013 Macbook Air (bought in August)  that I updated to OS X 10.9 a few weeks ago.  Recently I've been noticing that when I flip the screen up it'll work fine, but if I do so consecutively for two times (ie. opening it once, closing it, then opening it again), the screen goes black (sometimes a half-black that's still lit up, othertimes it's completely black as if it were off).  This also happens when I put it in sleep mode by pressing the power button once.  If I do it twice, the black screen appears as well.  Nothing I press on the keyboard will cause the screen to come back on.  The only thing I can do is to force it shut down and then reboot.  I reset the SMC and PRAM and neither has helped. Apple told me that I need to take it into a store but I have several essays due in the next week and finals after that.  I can't be without a laptop so I can't send it in for repair until at least mid-December.  I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue (since other people have posted about this as well) and it'll be solved by an update.  Any suggestions? 
    Thanks for the help!

  • Black screen upon waking

    Twice now since installing 10.5 my Mac has woke up with a black screen, forcing me to hold the button down and attempt rebooting several times. Is this a known problem?

    I can confirm the same problem here on a PowerPC Dual G5 with 2 Apple Cinema 23" monitors on both Tiger (10.4.11) and Leopard (10.5.5). The secondary monitor is blacked out upon waking from sleep and/or reboot, yet it appears in the Displays Preference Pane. Mirroring the displays or changing its resolution does not help.
    Now, when I plug and replug the monitor's DVI, I get this in the console...
    Sep 29 10:51:41 XXXXXX kernel[0]: USBF: 198.392 AppleUSBHubPort: Port 2 of Hub at 0x4b300000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing getting port status (2)
    So, apparently it's a USB issue. Did a quick search on this forum, but I havn't found out a solution yet.
    Any clues!?

  • Why a Black Screen for pdf files

    I can't see the opened pdf files, just get a black screen.  Help, please.  I have no Adobe plug-ins.  I have latest Mavericks software on iMac

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

    Hi LenBlazer,
    I did and they seem fine.
    I contacted Lenovo customer service this afternoon and they have advised me to send my machine to them. They also mentioned that they have recently been receiving same complain from other users as well and this seems to be caused by recent windows upgrades.
    I agree that the next thing that you should do is to send the unit to Lenovo for repair. Just be sure that you have backup all your files and data since Lenovo might restore the drive to factory condition. Use one Key recovery and chose a location that can accomodate the backup image files.

  • Why does Black screen keep popping up

    black screen keeps pooping up for no reason

    It's been happening to me as well lately on build 10041 just before I upgraded to build 10049. On build 10041, it would usually happen to me when I was browsing the internet. The screen would go black once or twice and then recover. The
    bad thing about this is my mouse would start stuttering to the point of being almost unusable accompanied with a beeping sort of sound coming from my audio speakers. Restarting the computer was about the only way I could clear the problem. I've seen other
    postings about this elsewhere and the best that can be done right now is to report it as a bug using your feedback app. I have not seen the problem in build 10049 yet.

  • Aspire e15 black screen upon booting

    I booted up my Aspire e15 and the computer turned on, showed the Acer loading screen, then went black with the LED backlight still on. The mouse remained on the screen and could be moved around but I can't get past this back screen. Is there a solution to this other than reinstalling Windows 8? And if I do have to reinstall windows 8, is there a way to salvage the files on my hard disk? Thank you.

    you have received the BSOD,, black screen of death.. but it may not be dead.. do you know if you received a software update recently?  Shut down your system completely.. unplug the power source if plugged in and remove the battery.. hit your start button a few times to clear static.. than plug your power soucre back in.. and place your battery into place and lock it..restart your system...If you receive the black screen again.. shut back down and wait a few minutes.. and restart in in safe mode.. If you are not sure how to start in safe mode.. I will be happy to walk you thru it... when you are able to get into the system.. you will want to look to see what caused the crash ... I can give you a few items of what to look for if you need.. Hope this helps you ...

  • Satellite L655 - black screen upon powering up

    My L655 Satellite went black last night...now when i go to turn it on it goes through the motions but only a black screen appears after starting in safe mode.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused
    How can you start the notebook in safe mode if the screen is blank?
    Are you able to see something on the external monitor?
    Usually you can switch to the external monitor using keys FN + F5.
    But this is possible only if the windows has booted up.
    Are you able to access BIOS pressing F2 immediately after the notebook has been powered up?
