Ok so I?ve been having that green screen crash issue with youtube and only youtube I have no issues with other flash based video sites. Now the fixes I?ve tried but nothing worked I have tried the following..

  1. Updated / rolled back my GFX drivers (currently using the best for everything else)
  2. Uninstalled then reinstalled flash
  3. switched browsers twice
  4. and yes even the old trick of right clicking on the video and disabling hardware acceleration

It's not at the start of videos just half way through some videos it goes green and skips to the end so what could i be missing? had anyone else had this and how did they fix it?

Thanks for any input!

Been so long since I've experienced something like that, but as far as I can tell, it's probably codec related.

Do you have a codec pack installed? If not, maybe try one and see if that fixes your problem.

Shark007 Codecs works great, but there are others.

Or wait till others give some comments, don't just take my word.

avoid klite codec pack... if you got it you may have to reformat to get rid of it... it's very hard even with tools that "completely remove" things....

once again, there is nothing wrong with klite anymore, they've gotten a lot better than they used to be. i used klite just fine for awhile till i switched over to full MPC-HC recently

anyway, back on topic, i doubt it's a codec problem, you're pretty much on the right track blaming your graphics driver and flash

what graphics card do you have and what version of flash do you have installed?

any windows updates that could have altered the codecs???? sometimes that happens... rare.... but it does...

codecs are very touchy... so it's hard to get them fixed...

Have you tried this fix (if you are using chrome) I know on my Windows 7 machine and Chrome this one fixed that issue.

Oh, how long have you had the problem for? As in did it just start with that version of Flash, or has always happened?

The current version of Flash is 11,5,502,124. Maybe update and see if that helps... or not.

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
