    Hi all,

    I have just received Dell XPS 15, and then I updated BIOS to version A06.
    But I have a problem with youtube videos: the youtube media player navigation bar on the bottom is blinking everytime I watch any video in fullscreen.

    Does anyone know what is cause of the problem and does anyone know how to solve it?

    Thanks.

    It's a problem with flash trying to use hardware acceleration. To fix it just right click on the youtube video and select settings and in the first tab disable hardware acceleration.

    Interesting I didn't know that either. Is this problem just with the Intel HD Graphics, Geforce, both or neither?
