    Recently I have noticed that any time I try and watch a Youtube or Espn3 video, that a flashing green screen covers the video :eek: ! I do not have this problem on my M11x, any ideas what could be causing this. It is only live or youtube stuff not dvd playback.

    Thanks!

    hey, got the same prob. Someone on the forums recommended that I turn off "enable hardware acceleration" by right clicking on any flash video and going to settings. It worked for me. Just remember to restart your browser
