I have recently downloaded Flash Player 11 on a Windows 7 system with IE 9. On certain sites such as Earthcam.com I can hear audio but can only see video by moving the scroll bar or by going to full screen mode. Any dieas what might cause this to happen. I did not have this problemwith earlier versions of Flash Player.

Right click the movie, go to Settings and then in the first tab called "Display", remove the checkmark from "Enable Hardware Acceleration". Then refresh the page.

Removing the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" did not work but chnaging the Internet Advanced option to use software rendering instead of GPU rendering did. Thanks.

That you need to rud IE in software rendering mode indicates that you need to update your graphics driver.  DriverMax is a good program to use to update drivers.  Then you can try running IE in the GPU rendering mode.
