Effect of "Restore Important Windows Services"
Boggin:
Annoying, all the same.

Annoying, and aberrant. It is the adobe flash updater that is affected, and I have noticed that the flash updater does not appear to have been updating automatically recently, despite being set to do so. I have updated adobe flash today to the most recent version, and yet it is still causing the empty black box to appear when I run the scheduled update task.
Boggin:
I have the Flash updater service disabled but normally manually check for updates shortly after Update Tuesday as they seem to be updating on a monthly basis now.

Updating adobe flash today did not fix anything. But I now seem to have got rid of the myserious empty black box, by uninstalling adobe flash via add/remove programs, and then rebooting followed by reinstalling adobe flash. It remains to be seen whether it will update automatically in future. I did not also reinstall the active x version for internet explorer, which is now so out of date I thought it better not to install adobe flash for it - I only use it for the ms update function and for viewing old .mht files.
Samson:
Sometimes it is better to use the Flash Player uninstaller, following all the steps, rather than add/ remove programs.
