I bought a new computer last year. Why do some of the videos, including You Tube, have a green screen and some show the video. Beyond frustrating as I don't know if I will see the video or not. This includes shows, movies, etc. I get nothin'. Just a green screen. Suggestions?

Do you clean your computer of unwanted files on a daily basis?
Are you using a free cleaner such as CCleaner?
Which browser are you using and are you using the latest version?

It's most likely a problem with Flash. If you Google it there are instructions for changing the hardware acceleration setting (I think you need to turn it off.)

I don't clean my computer (honestly, never thought of that). Thank you for the tip as to where to go. And...it very well could be a problem with Flash. I will google the instructions and see if that does the trick. Thank you!  |

If not, you may be operating on old programs with partial coruption. Also, defrag your computer. Both functions can be found on your computer's control panel. |

Flash no longer works with Firefox, at least on my computer, but it does on Chrome.

Tenneseer - I do get the weekly updates. The strange thing is that this has been going on since day one. For a split second the video will start then go to all green. Sometimes I can actually see the entire video with no problems. Sometimes I can watch part of the video/show and then it will go green. Frustrating...
