Unable to install Adobe Flash updates due to blank download manager? Do this...
For the past couple months I have been unable to install Flash player updates. Every time I tried once I got to the Adobe Download Manager phase (where that little window pops up and the update downloads) the dl manager would be blank. No way around it. So being a lazy arse I just ignored it thinking I'd find a solution later. Well this morning Firefox started blocking flash vids complaining Flash was too out of date so I did some digging and found this thread on their site... https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1822939 It shows the blank window and describes the exact problem I was having. One of the Adobe doods posited it could be due to the new company handling their download stuff and that if you use scriptblocking it was blocking their domain (of course with no way to temporarily allow that domain because it does not download in the browser). The solution is a manual install of Flash for your browser. You can find links to those installations at the very bottom of this page (scroll down to the "Still Having Problems?" section)... https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html Just figured maybe this was biting some of you guys on the arse as well. Cheers.

So your suggestion is I expose my not so fresh dates to the fresh dates? I think one could serve hard time for that. Giggety.

If they're anything like bananananas the not so fresh ones will help ripen the slightly too fresh ones.

Hi,
I would almost recommend uninstall it in its entirety and then installing it again.
But I had already heard of issues with Firefox, and it was one of the reasons why I won't touch it. These days I use Chrome more than anything else. IE is getting too slow and cumbersome!
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

lololol... You seem to be channeling some of my aging punker buddies. I've always preferred my produce fresh but fully ripened. It's much less annoying in the morning that way.

I had the same problem. I run Windows XP Pro SP 3. I don't know why but once I downloaded and installed IE-8 I was able to do the install and also corrected a problem I was having with not being able to scan with my HP 1610 All-In-One printer.

I was having a problem with the Blank Screen when trying up update Flash. I am using Windows XP SP 3. I resolved my problem by installing Internet Explorer 8. For some reason I was then able to update Flash and also remedy a problem with not being able to Scan with my HP 1610 All-In-One printer.

Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Can there be fresh at my age? Would I be actually shopping? What's the best times to go there? Would "I've come here for goodies" be too forward? So many questions now and so little time

Beepster, do the following.
Windows+X ->Apps and Features -> Adobe Flash -> Uninstall
It'll probably prompt you to close your browser during the uninstall.
And that's all there is to it! Now go about your usual browsing habits and observe that nothing is different!
I was irritated by those Flash updates for years until about 2 weeks ago when I thought, why in the hell do I even have this junk on my computer? So I removed it. And I haven't noticed its absence once since then. Most things are using HTML5 video these days, and if they're not, then they're probably not even worth dealing with.
