    I installed Flash 10.1 today now that the official release is out. But now I'm having issues watching videos online. Youtube, Hulu, CNN.com all cause my video driver to crash and recover - leaving me with only audio playing from whatever it is I tried to watch. If I try and reload the page, it does the same thing - screen goes black then immediately comes back and the video goes green with only audio playing.

    I'm still using stock Dell video drivers. I've tried using different browsers all fully updated (IE, Chrome, and Firefox) to no avail. Is anyone else having these issues?
