Why is flash intermitant on one pc?

I have a problem with Flash player. On one pc on our home network, some pictures on some web sites are sometimes blank.  For example there are a sometimes a couple of blank areas on the home page of rubylane.com. Another pc  on the same network  sees the pictures all the time. Both pc’s are running XP, IE 8 up to date, and IE and the adobe site report both have flash 10,0,32,18 installed. Opera on the 'other' pc also has no problem.
On the problem pc a right click on the blank area brings up the flash camera/store/ etc window – so it is flash related. Other pictures that are visible are not flash. We can see no relationship to other activities and whether flash shows these pictures or not, though sometimes they show up after a reboot, and then some time later, with nothing other than browsing happening in the mean time - they have gone.  A restart or full reboot sometimes brings them up again, but not always. The problem pc is an Acer Aspire with an AMD turion 800 MHz processor and one gig RAM. Neither memory nor processor are stretched according to Task Manager.

No, I don't even have Creative Suite and never have. I used the Adobe chat for this issue, and was told to remove it via control panel and then click on this link http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/customer-alert.html for more information. Of course, I had already read the security alert after I received the email from Adobe telling me to reset my password(and I did). So, anyway, I uninstalled Creative Cloud, but that still doesn't tell me how it got on my PC without me paying for it, downloading it, and installing it. I just can't figure it out. I hope this has nothing to do with the hackers. I am so afraid of them getting ahold of my financial information.
Do you have any idea what is going regarding how CC got on my PC and why?
Thanks so much for your earlier response.

  • Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install?  This seems like a big error by Adobe.

    I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro.  No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers.  I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use.  When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message.  What is the point of a universal player that is not universal?  It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8.  Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

    Where are you getting Flash from?
    Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.

    If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Why does Flash install Google Toolbar?

    Why does Flash install Google Toolbar? Honestly, do you have ANY idea how annoying that behaviour is? I had no option at all to not download it, I could not stop downloading it. I was taking from a "you need to install flash" button on Facebook to the download.
    Honestly things like this make me rage, installing things automatically without an option.
    Until now, I used to think that it was annoying that Apple wouldn't allow flash on some of their devices. Now Adobe pulls **** like this, I'm not surprised. To hell with Flash I say.

    This is a user-to-user forum, and you're "preaching to the choir" here. IT ISN'T going to change, and NO ONE from Adobe management ever sees or reads these pages. Employees are here from time to time but no one who makes these decisions participates in these forums, per company policy. (I used to work for Intuit, and we were strictly prohibitied from posting in their forums. A team leader I worked with was fired for it).
    Links to the FULL installers are posted literally HUNDREDS of times each week throughout these pages by myself, and at least three others I know of, who volunteer in these pages daily.

    I DON'T run Adobe and no one here does, so I won't even beging to discuss business ethics.
    The solutions have been offered, and I recommend you update NOTHING, including your OS, automatically. I don't because I don't want junk like Ask Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, Bing Toolbar, Bing Desktop, Norton or McAfee on any of my nine systems.

  • Why new Flash Text Engine (FTE) renders characters incorrectly? (Sometimes there is a space)

    I have been trying to create a HTML Wrapper for my CMS, but the old TextField just cant do it.
    With the new much more versatile Flash Text Engine (I am not reffering to FTL), I have successfuly created the wrapper. However i have one problem.
    WHY new Flash Text Engine sometimes added a space between 2 characters? it makes the text ugly
    I have uploaded the image to prove my point
    Please Note : That the Left Side is the HTML Text Render (which correctly render all texts)
    With KERNING set to "on" , check the word 'underline' and the word 'paragraph' (I have marked it with red circle)
    With KERNING set to "off", check the word 'Text' and the word 'paragraph' (I have marked it with red circle)
    Now, is there any solution? hell, i should have turned 'on' the kerning right? but both turning 'on' and 'off' presents a problem of their own (in how they add a space randomly)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, or even a "you should look at Class X" will be enough (I am quite proficient in ActionScript 3.0)
    Cheers and God Bless,
    Chowi

    You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
    Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
    Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
    Close Firefox.
    Restart Firefox.
    And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
    Thanks anyway Mr.

  • HT5624 Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ????

    Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ???? I also set up my apple ID with a new email account and also I signed up for iCloud but used the same apple I'd email and password but it gave me a I cloud email! I did activate the favorites in my email . Noticed the from field has my fathers name and contact and it is a notification about me using my apple ID to sign in to FaceTime! Something is messed up, not sure how or why???

    i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
    do a true clean install
    reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
    at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
    exit disk utlity
    at menu, choose install OSX
    this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
    you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

  • I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

    Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

    By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
    Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
    Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or 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
    Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

  • Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

    why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

    Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
    I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
    Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
    Go To the Artwork tab
    Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
    you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

  • Create two or more flash files from one (Excel) data source

    Hi experts,
    I have the following requirement about Xcelsius.
    Our data source is a relational database. Via the ODBC driver we manage to create several queries and execute them into Microsoft Excel. Those excel sheets are the basic for the Xcelsius reports.
    Now we want to build some highly visualized reports on that, but the crucial fact is. We don't want to have all the reports in one FlashFile, but we need several flash file depending on the area of the queries.
    Hence our requirement would be one of the following points:
    - create multiple flash files from one .xlf
    - create multiple .xlf from data source
    Another requirement is the automatic execution of the process. We don't want to have a person in between, who has to call all the .xlf files to create the Flash reports step by step. What we need is an automatic process.
    Can this requirement be fulfilled in a way?
    Maybe by using the Xcelsius SDK?
    Thanks for any helps and comments!
    Sebastian

    Sebastian,
    Firstly talking about the important requirement i.e. automating the process:
    In your case you can achieve this by using the XML maps. This will pick the data automatically when ever report is refreshed.
    Secondly, both the approaches are correct, however i would go with the first one.
    1. Create multiple flash files from one .xlf
         You just need to create one dashboard and have a filter on areas (Invisible) and then export to flash (for every area).    
    2. Create multiple .xlf from data source
         This approach is also fine, however you need to create multiple dashboards and do the same thing i.e filter data based on area.
    P.S. Did you get a chance to explore options to integrate Xcelsius with your Relational Database, this will be much effective.

  • Why are certain albums like ones from Tool or Ozzy era black sabbath not available in the U.S. store

    why are certain albums like ones from Tool or Ozzy era black sabbath not available in the U.S. store

    Also, in some cases the artist will not allow download sales, or insists on a download store selling complete albums only rather than offering individual tracks, something Apple resists. In any case, it's not by Apple's choice; it's by decision of the content owners.

    If you downloaded Flash Player from the standard location http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ then you WILL have the option to decline the bundled install:
    If you download the installer from Mike's link above (which is posted several dozen times in this forum every day), then you will not get any bundled software.

  • Why we can have only one public class in one source file

    why we can have only one public class in one source file

    When the java compiler is run it looks for classes referenced by the classes you are directly compiling. When looking for these referenced classes it looks for source as well as class files and compiles them automatically if the coresponding class files are missing, or older than the source.
    In order to do this it must be able to work out the source file name for any given class which might be referenced from another (the rule also applies to package level access).

Maybe you are looking for
