Hi.Since I downloaded latest Flash Player (version 10.2.152.26),I can't correctly watch videos - i see them all twice,splitted in a half.Like on the picture:                                                                                                               It's happening in every browser I've tried - Opera,FF,Chrome,IE.Also it's happening on every page with flash videos,not just YouTube. I've tried installing older version of flash player,but when I try to watch video with older version,it says that I need to upgrade my Flash Player.Also I've tried reinstalling Flash,uninstalling and installing Flash,no change.Is anyone able to help me?

    Hi, Try this and see if it helps.

    Hardware Acceleration

    You may want to go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,
    then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.

    Let me know,

    Thanks,

    eidnolb,

    Thanks, that did it!  I didn't even think about that!  We take our drivers forgranted sometimes!!!

    Thank you again!

    Thanks, yes I was a ware of that. I don't know what to say!  YOUTUBE works and a site or 2 still have the line.  I double checked to see that it was still off.  I tried restarting the computer just to make sure that it was set, but still, some still did itI!  I thought it was strange.

    Hi epcot1988, Just a bit of info, since I don't want to post anymore to this thread as email notifications are received each time and this thread has been answered.

    Updating the graphic video card drivers sometimes is needed. You can read this article:

    Thanks, that helped on YOUTUBE.  But there are other websites that it didn't help.  I am running XP sp3.  So I still have a partial issue!

    Hi epcot1988, The hardware acceleration feature is turned on by default with the version of Flash Player. It's either ON or OFF and not per website. Glad this thread and info was able to help you, but if you have any other issues, please start your own thread/discussion.

    Include other info as browser(s) & versions.

    Thanks,

    Hi, Glad to hear that worked for you. It seems to be an issue for some users, depending on their OS and the system requirements for the hardware acceleration.

    Thanks mazpizi for marking your thread as answered I'm sure other users will benefit also!!

    I am having the same problem.  The image below the green line has the colors off position, not aligned with the image.  That is to say that it appears that the reds are an inch or two below where they should be.  As mentioned in the other post, this has only happened recently when I uploaded the update to 10.2.  I have removed. shutdown, and restarted the computer, then installed either an older version or the current version of Flash Player to no avail, also just removed and installed with the same results.

    I guess that it is a case that once you've updated you can't go back!
