I get a blank/black screen

[Foster_88]

I hope someone can help. I have had no problems with Gameday on MLB's site
until now. I know that Flash is installed because I saw it on the computer but
when I click on Gameday the window opens and acts as if it is opening but then
it says done and the window is just black. I had a problem last week where I
had to uninstall my drivers and then when I restarted they reinstalled
themselves so has this affected Flash player?? Do I need to reinstall it?? I
need to fix this problem or my husband is going to go nuts without Gameday.

Rats! I found this reference to a black GAMEDAY window and thought I'd find an
answer. Anyone? It's always worked for me till I messed around with a bunch
of stuff one day (IE, default progs,etc) and somehow screwed it up!
Am not married to Foster but am going nuts!
Help!

I had the same problem. I installed an older version of Macromedia Flash Player and it worked. I use Flash Player 7.

SUCCESS! Have brought back GAMEDAY screen by means of Main Strength and
Awkwardness.
First I followed the directions at the bottom of :
Topic Title Installed but not installed
Topic Summary flash player will not work
Created On 09/14/2006 07:26:58 PM
and uninstalled my version of flashplayer.
then I TRIED to download and install version 7-- not clear on what happened,
(and mlb claims, I think, they need FP8 at least for some of their screens).
ANYWAY; at this point still no gameday and i managed to break my AUDIO access
to games.
Disgusted, I took a break for a midnight snack.
When I got back their was a message claiming I needed to DOWNLOAD FLASH PLAYER
9
And i'm thinking "Jh christmas, that's how this all started...but oh Wot the
hell, how much worse can it get than not working at all?"
So I said, sure, lay it on me.
And by gads if it didn't work.

I think the significant part of all the flailing around I did was the
THOROUGH REMOVAL OF FLASH PLAYER VERSION(S)
Then, if you subscribe to GAMEDAY AUDIO, select it and let it kick off
Download FP 9

Aside: I was going to get a copy of Adobe photoshop, which used to be a great
prog; but i've about decided these Adobe piple have got way too aggressive
about trying to take over my hard disk, and this FLASH PLAYER deal has caused
me more grief and has "procedures" more difficult to disentangle than any all
the other programs I use put together (mlb.com is not the only website I use
that has gagged on FLASHPLAYER)

Anyway, how 'bout that Garciapara guy, ey?
Hell of a week to have trouble getting my Ball fix.

CAVEAT: Am not RECOMMENDING FP 9.
It apparently still has problems playing nice with the other programs.

But I can now get GAMEDAY screen and GAMEDAY AUDIO
Good luck, Citizens of Cyberspace.
