Both on YouTube and when embedded elsewhere, videos play and audio sounds fine, but image seems to pick one horizontal line and repeat it vertically instead of reading the whole image. Videos play fine in Chrome. Firefox and Flash are up-to-date.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Thank you, cor-el. That helped for a day. Now it's started again. (It did this before, soon after I got the computer. I'm getting fed up now...)

So I'll try one more time in case I missed something.
