    Anyone else getting this? I seem to recall a flash update broke hardware accelerated video about a year ago, but I've been getting this issue again a LOT lately.

    Anyone else seeing a green screen instead of a video in youtube or other flash-based players?

    I did once yesterday, but didn't think twice about it. I just minimized the video (it was 1080P and set for full screen) and then back to full screen and I was GTG.

    Try this DCX found this in a topic regarding Green screens with Youtube vids.

    1) Right click on youtube video.
    2) Click Settings
    2) I get these tabs: Display, Privacy, Local Storage, Microphone and Camera.
    3) Under Display, I UNCHECKED the 'Enable hardware acceleration' tickbox.
    4) Refeshed and works fine now.

    Oh yeah, I know about the hardware acceleration, I just wanted to know if anyone else was getting it.

    I hadn't been able to figure out what was causing it, now I know - It's a combination of chrome w/ latest build of flash + 11.6. No other driver (11.2, 11.8 is what I tried) will cause it, and no other browser with 11.6 will do it.

    Strange, I havent seen that problem for a long time and I have hardware acceleration on, am using 11.8 firefox 7 and latest chrome as well.

    Is it specifically youtube/flash movies or others as well?

    I don't get this issue. I use Internet Explorer 9 with current Windows Updates. I always use current Adobe Flash Player. By the way Adobe Flash Player was just updated to 10.3.183.7 today for Internet Explorer, so Flash Player may have been updated for other browsers today as well.

    I'm waiting for Flash Player X64 and Mozilla Firefox 8 X64 which should both be out by the end of the year.

    I only get this when I have the gpu clock to 100/150, or when I change from 100/150 to 300/300.
