Flash videos have no colors except blue and purple

Question

I don't know if this is the right place to go to ask, but I don't know what's causing the problem.  Any video I watch (on YouTube, Facebook, etc) has no color, with the exception of blue and purple.  This is an odd glitch, and it is not just a problem exclusive to Google Chrome (the browser I use), it also occurs on Windows Movie Maker, and any videos saved on Movie Maker are permanently given this effect.  Any help would be appreciated, and again, I'm not sure if Flash Player is the actual cause of the problem.

If you're having problems with video utilities that don't use Flash, I think you have your answer already.

This is probably a video card driver issue, although I've correctly diagnosed one bad video cable this year over the forum. You're into that kind of territory.

Our video troubleshooting guide describes how to disable hardware acceleration in Flash. If you're still seeing the color issue, seriously, go grab a known good video cable and try it out. If it's a laptop, you may have other problems...
