    I had this happen before with my M17x (R1), where I cannot see anything on YouTube because it flashes a solid green screen while playing the video. last time someone told me to adjust the settings to enable hardware settings. Did that and still not working. Any other ideas? Youtube works fine on my M11x....

    Thanks!

    Easy to fix:

    Right click a playing video
    click " Settings"
    then click the " First Tab"
    un-check the " Hardware Acceleration"
    click close, and refresh the page.

    Watch videos without the green screen of doom =^_^=

    I usually have that when I change from SLI to Integrated GPU or vice versa with websites opened in background.
    ^ It works anyway.
