For some reason Flash on my computer has stopped working with the Youtube's video player and only that player as far as I can tell. I have tried several other players and games that use Flash and they all seem to be working fine. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Flash to the most current version. I have cleared all cookies and caches and still the same thing. Either a black screen or that picture with the three dots in a box. Anyone have a solution for this? I am running Flash ver.13 on Windows 7 with IE 11.
Have you tried using a different browser? I've heard that IE has issues with newer versions of Flash.
Seems like the latest version of Flash is causing issues across all browsers. Had to disable everything in Chrome to get it to work, had to disable it in IE to get it to work, had to disable and ask to be enabled in Firefox to stop it from causing crashes as for whatever reason some of the browsers are picking up an older version of Flash and it's conflicted with the new install from what I've noticed. Double-check that all of the older versions are actually uninstalled as Adobe has screwed up something, somewhere in the latest version.
^^ THAT! ... regardless of fe/browser used this side, adobe flash player causes blue screen of death on a 50/50 basis! (adobe software used to have my respect back in the CBM days, now it's as bloated as the rest) only way around it that i've found is... 1, DESTROY plugin container after a single tube video is viewed, NO multi-tabs open or BSOD follows for sure! 2, purge/flush ALL browser caches/histories before closing browser! (cookies? wtfat? don't care) sometimes, if the browser has been left open for days consecutive, a manual purge seems to help! .... bottom line is, a massive inconvenience, a ritual! .... so for now, either kill flash OR expect the worst....for now! ... i'm using an intel POS (i HATE intel, crap waste of silicon) HP dcm5800 microtower, xp SP3 installed! ... btw, my friends are win8 users, and they get more shit than i do! (vice-versa i'm the only one on xp, go figure?!)
Oh, and it's also occasionally spamming plugin containers. You may see one larger one and a smaller one? Kill the smaller one, that is likely an older version being called up and causing the actual conflicts as I noticed with both Firefox and Chrome. This is happening on: Vista-32, Windows 7-32, 64 and I've had my brother-in-law complaining about occasional crashes on his Windows 8 laptop. For whatever reason the Flash plugin keeps trying to start itself up on pages that are not actually using Flash. It's also causing a weird crash on Facebook when the name search list pops up, despite Flash not being used for it, Flash loads up and then makes the latest non-beta/dev version of Firefox hang on my husband's Win-64 computer. I've been dealing with this for a couple of weeks and so far the best thing I've found is Firefox + require Flash and other Adobe plugins to be disabled and require manual activation, clearing the active plugin containers and I constantly do a Disk Cleanup of my temp files too.
Wow, it finally pays off that I set my updates to "ask" and skipped the last two or three times they told me to update...
I was running v10 for ages when version v11 was released the picture quality was so poor. Thankfully I haven't updated flash in a while and it seems I wont be for a while longer if it keeps going like this. My advice, uninstall flash, download the last version which was working for you and reinstall.
