I've used Storyline 2 for the past several months without any major issue. I needed to work on a couple of modules I've been developing. I opened Articulate Storyline 2 as usual and it came up as usual. I could see my modules on the left side as before. I clicked on one of the modules, it opened in the story mode and appeared normal. However, when I tried to preview it, it opened to a blank screen. When I exited the preview, I could see the module again. I rebooted the computer, same thing, blank screen. This is the first time I've experienced this, any ideas on what I need to do.
Thanks for reaching out here. This is something we are aware of due to a recent release of Flash player and our Support engineers are hard at work on this issue. We've got some updated documentation here and a workaround.
It seems to be an issue within the Adobe Flash update that is affecting more than just Articulate software per the bug report on Adobe's site. The current solution is to rollback the Flash player update and once we have additional information to share in regards to hearing back from Adobe or fixes within Articulate we'll be sure to update folks here and for any open cases associated with this issue.
Hi, Les -- Please also note that I have added your thread to a ticket for the matter under investigation, so any updates or additional information will be shared here when applicable.
All I can get when I click on Articulate Storyline 2 is Uninstall Articulate Storyline 2. This seems to be a loop, it keeps coming up. I selected Uninstall, but still comes up. Frustrated....

Hi all,
Adobe and Microsoft released information that Windows 7, Vista and Windows 10 have been updated.
Install the latest Windows updates to resolve it.
We're waiting for additional information in regards to Windows 8.
Good news! Adobe and Microsoft have fixed the Flash Player bug that broke many applications just before the new year, including Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, and Articulate Studio.
Here's how to install the latest Adobe/Microsoft update so you can preview your e-learning projects, edit videos, and launch CD-published courses again.
