Youtube Green Screen of Death!

Featured Replies

Hi guys, anyone else noticed recently a lot of youtube videos wont run properly, only showing a green screen or a flickering green screen.

I have the latest Google Chrome browser with the latest adobe flash plugin, I also tried playing youtube content running Microsoft internet explorer but the same problem.

Im about to update my graphics driver to see if that fixes it but I find it odd how its just started doing this, anyone know the latest stable Geforce Driver for Windows 7 64Bit

Can you still hear any audio?

Can you try this as a test for me -

1) Right click on youtube video.

2) Click Settings

2) I get these tabs: Display, Privacy, Local Storage, Microphone and Camera.

3) Under Display, I UNCHECKED the 'Enable hardware acceleration' tickbox.

4) Refeshed and works fine now.

Please do let me know if this does indeed resolve your issue.

Are you trying to watch the video full screen? I found my laptop stopped playing videos full screen for a while. I figured it wasa dodgy driver, but it is working happily again now.

Win 7, 64 bit

Upgrade your graphics drivers

They have been changing their video codecs recently, perhaps you dont have the corresponding codec for playback. Can you try either IE or FF ??

OK tried the settings options in youtube but didnt work, removed old Nvidia drivers and installed latest version and all is good.

Cheers for the help guys
