    All of the sudden, yesterday, Google chrome decided to stop playing video correctly. It doesn't matter which type of video (youtube, etc.), the screen is green. I can hear the audio, but the video is solid green. When I use IE the playback is fine. Thanks for the help.

    Have you tried reinstalling chrome? Sounds like a flash issue, Google chrome is rather new.. but try reinstalling and reinstalling flash player. Goodluck :D

    I uninstalled Chrome and Flash player and re-installed. The problem persists. It just started doing it this week. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Chrome is actually on version 5 of it's browser. It's very mature.

    It sounds like the flash player install is corrupt. Try re-installing flash and/or Chrome.

    Sounds like the Radeon card is failing with video acceleration.

    I did do a uninstall/re-install of both Chrome and flash. If it helps, I can watch video on Internet Explorer. I have been using Chrome for over a month on this computer, then it just started to display solid green screen on videos (plays sound).
