Blank screen

Mar 15, 2009 5:41 PM

I have been happily using BW on my work computer, but cannot get it working on my laptop. Everything appears to load, the status bar says "done" and the screen is completely blank. I have no problem w/ adobe "share". I'm running xp sp3 with Firefox 3.0 (also 3.1 beta3, which has same problem). I've installed the latest flash and have javascript enabled, and have run out of ideas.
Thanks,
Tom

In follow up, I am also having this problem using IE7.
I've tried disabling Windows Firewall and McAfee but that doesn't help.

Hi Tom,

Sorry to hear you are running into this blank screen issue. We had other reports of this but haven't yet detemined exactly what causes it. It has been resolved in a number of cases, but again, it's not yet clear what fixed it. Please respond to the list of questions below so we can understand your laptop setup and see if it matches the profiles of other folks running into this anomoly. I filled in the details you already provided.

Operating system - XP sp3
Browser(s) - IE7 (what exact version please?)
Flash Player version - http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507

Next please try the following:

Clear IE cache - clear cookies - close the browser and then reload Buzzword
Check for security software (e.g., Norton Internet Security) - if yes, please try with it disabled.

Has Buzzword ever worked on this machine?
Please try these URLS:
https://www.buzzword.com
https://www.buzzword.acrobat.com
https://www.acrobat.com

From https://www.acrobat.com:
sign in to Buzzword - result?
sign in to Share - result?

if Share loads, try moving to Buzzword by clicking on the New icon at the top right (little pencil icon)

One other thing to confirm - pleae right-click body of the blank page to see if flash player context menu shows

And finally, can you please try using Firefox to see if the result is the same - thanks.

regards,
Peter Watson

Thanks for your reply, Peter. Here are some answers...
The problem exists in IE (7.0.5730.11) as well as Firefox 3.0.7 and 3.1 beta3.
I tried buzzword.com and buzzword.acrobat.com without any luck (after emptying cache, etc and turning off McAfee).
I can bring up acrobat.com and sign into share successfully. When I try to go to BW from there... no luck. (also no luck signing into BW from the acrobat.com screen.)
Flash is 10.0.22.87

Interestingly, when I right-click the black screen to bring up the flash menu, and click settings, it freezes with the settings menu displayed. That's about the only clue I can give you.

BW used to work on the laptop, but its been some months. (Perhaps when you switched to SSL?) I'm not aware of any big changes to my system.

Best,
Tom

Tom,

Thanks for the details. Can you please try installed the debug flash player 10 to see if we can catch some exception that is failing silently in the standard player.

First please run the latest uninstaller:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player.exe

Here's the links for the debug players:
IE - http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flashplayer _10_ax_debug.exe
FF - http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flashplayer _10_plugin_debug.exe

Please let us know if that provides any additional info.

Hi,

Thanks for posting the details of your findings. Can you please try running the debug player and see if you get any different results.

On additional thing for both of you to try is installing the FireFox addon http://getfirebug.com/
This will allow you to look at all the files being loaded and perhaps we'll see what is failing.

Once it's installed you see a little bug icon in the lower right corner, click it and you'll see the configuration page.
click on the NET option and then click the checkbox "Net Support for Network monitoring."
Now load http://buzzword.com and let me know what the result is.

OR (coming up with ideas as I'm going here...) you can clear out the browser cache and then request buzzword - then look in the browser cache folder and take a screen shot of all the files - I'll compare with a good load and see if something obvious is missing.

thanks - this issue has been very difficult to nail down, we have not been able to reproduce it in house. So any efforts you take to help track it down are greatly appriciated.

Ok, my previous post needs a slight correction. I do have an Intel PowerMac (at work). I'm still getting the blank screen. At home running Tiger 10.4.? on a Non-Intel PowerMac G5 it works fine.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for posting the details - from the Buzzword attempt, is Buzzword.swf the last item to load?

Did you have a chance to try with the debug player? I'm curious if you'll have same result as Tom posted in this thread.

My colleague also ran into this problem with his home Mac and a reboot cleared it up for him. It's a lame tech support suggestion, but can you please try it and let me know the result - thanks.

Hello,

I'm so sorry you're having trouble. Someone here has seen this before when Flash is corrupted during the installation. We recommend that you try to uninstall and reinstall Flash one more time.

Here is where you can find instructions on how to accomplish the uninstall:

If it's a problem that you're having exclusively at work, it maybe an issue with your company's security policies. Please have a look at this thread:

Still waiting to hear on this!

Here is the reason I need Buzzword. Perhaps you have another idea!

I use Acrobat to convert a Word file to pdf. However, it does not convert line-for-line, and makes some things (like headers) appear goofy. Since this is for a big proposal I am doing, I really need the pdf to be perfect. Someone on this forum said I needed to upload my proposal to Buzzword and then make a pdf. Is there another way????

Thanks for any help you can give me. This proposal is due Tuesday and I am scrambling!

Hi - sorry to hear you are running into this issue.

Can you please provide the details about your machine so we can compare with the other reports of this problem - thanks.

     Operating system?
     Browser(s)?
     Flash Player version

Have you tried with another browser on this machine?
After uninstall/reinstall do you continue to get the debug exception about the local object?

Considering that you are scrambling - I suggest you use your home machine to try importing the file into Buzzword and exporting to PDF to see the result. If Acrobat is having problems with the header conversion, Buzzword may have similar issues.
Are you able to manually modify the headers in Acrobat after conversion?

Cannot reply to any of the posts as my 'blank screen' arrives in a different manner and only happens with certain files.

Machine IBM Intellistation MPro 6218 running MS Windows XP v 3 2 Go mem.

Buzzword used for translations and teaching and it has been working well, by well I mean within the limits imposed by my knowledge of Acrobat and my requirements.
Recently, I scanned (Canon Pixma) a sheet of text and saved it as 'tiff'.
This was then run through with Omnipage SE 4 (included with the scanner software) and after adjustments it was saved to MS WORD 2007 in rtf format.
When importing to buzzword it failed to open , hence title 'blank screen',.

Re-imported after changing the format to DOCX but the same result.

Scanned a new and different page and carried out the same actions all to no avail.

I can import .doc format letters as sent to me by e-mail.

As it is a probability that scanning and converting will form a large part of my work in the future can you please help as my first expenditure will be for an upgrade of OmniPage - and that is a costly item.

Thanks for any ideas

Hi,

Thanks for letting us know you are running into an issue importing a .RTF file into Buzzword.
It's definitely a different issue from the others in this thread.

When you try to import, do you get a popup error message that says the import failed or does a blank editor open?

If possible, can you please create a test file that demonstrates the issue and attach it to this forum thread so I can test it out and reproduce the issue in-house - thanks.

and Hello to you,

Thanks for the quick reply.

No pop-up message but when I tried it this morning the page was blank but
ready for typing.
I also have this as a MS file DOCX and that gives me the same result.

I have checked and added an ADD-IN for WORD 2007 for OmniPage but that I
have not used as yet.

How do I create a test file?

All I can do is transfer the page from WORD to buzzword and send you the
result by buzzword. or does the forum thread have something for this?

Ready to comply but please spell it out so that I can follow it blindly! !

Hey Archie,

Please send me both the .rft and .docx files that you are trying to import (I said test file so you could remove any potentially confidential info)

When you click "reply" in this forum thread there is a "Browse" button below that let's you attach files.

Then I can test importing into Buzzword using your files and see if we can determine what the problem is - thanks.

Hello,

I noticed when checking the conversion from IMAGE to TEXT that the check was
divided into sections such as heading column 1 etc but I cannot see how that

A friend of mine who invited me to try this out is running on the same specs with no problem. I'm the only one she knows of who can't get it to work.

On a lark, I installed the debug version of the Flash player linked to here and it spat back this.

Sorry to hear you are running into this odd blank screen behavior.

The error you posted is the one common symptom that we have seen for users running into this - so you are not alone, but unfortunately we don't yet have a known solution. In most all cases the problem resolves itself. That being said let's try a few things to see if we can get you up and running w/ Buzzword.

Do you by chance have Firefox 3 or 3.5 installed that you can test with to see if that browser works?

Can you please try right clicking on the blank page and select settings in the flash player context menu. Then click on the little folder icon at the bottom center and let me know what the Local Storage value is set to - it should be 100 KB by default.

Please remove me from this thread, I do not want to receive emails of the correspondence. You never fixed my problem, never got back to me with any type of help at all. The problem never "resolved" itself. I hate to sound cranky, but the help people here never help and this is THE most clumsy, backward, waste-of-time help center I have ever seen. It does not speak well for Adobe products. Perhaps this is their way of driving people to pay for their help service.

In any case, remove me from the correspondence please. Ignorance is bliss.

jsilvaportland - I'm terribly sorry for your rotten experience. In reviewing the thread, it looks like we didn't hear back from you after p watson's post on April 28th? If you're willing to give us another chance, please give us the requested information and we'll be very glad to continue to try to resolve the problem. If not, you can remove yourself from the thread by using the "Stop Email Notifications" option under "Actions" after signing in to the forums.

Again, I'm very sorry we were unable to resolve this to your satisfaction.

Michelle
