Reported, bug #3158028, included dxdiag report, let me know if anything else is missing.

I have submitted a bug report on this at http://https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=newBug   It is Bug #3158029 .  If you are still getting the green band across the videos, or if your flash videos didn't even want to play, you can report your experiences with this bug there.  My experience is that, with hardware acceleration turned on, all my flash videos have the green band.  And, before I disabled hardware acceleration, I was having trouble even getting them to play at all.

That's good Derickso1. Please (all of you) help by pushing this through the BugBase here:

Vote for it, leave comments, etc. If we want a prompt fix, we need to show it's a big enough issue. Thanks.

There is definitely a bug with flash atm.  Leaving default settings I go to some videos and I get a green screen.  This video for example.. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqEQ2JX6Pxc

Default (360p, small player) settings, I get green screen.  But if I switch to larger player or 480p, I can watch the video.

Interestingly enough, I only have this problem on one of my four computers.  The main difference between them is the one pc has 2 gtx 580 in Sli..

Hi, I joined to comment on this thread. I too have the green video issue. I have to say I am not exactly happy about the direction and attitude being taken on this. For those that do not know, the latest Nvidia drivers are not very good. They are buggy and many people recommend not going to them. I'm not calling fault here, but for another software developer to throw out updates and then when it breaks say, you need to update your video drivers is not really the ideal situation. To me tellling people "update drivers" is not an answer, it is a cop out. The drivers are not the issue here. I would understand it if maybe it was worded differently as a temporary "workaround", but I feel the blame is being pushed off here.

I've been using 285.62 geforce drivers since its release Oct 24, 2011.  Never experienced the green screen issue until I restarted the pc a few days ago and flash was updated to 11,2,202,228.

Forgot to mention that video drivers update does not seem to be available for my system, a 3 month old Dell laptop with NVIDIA Quadro 2000 M graphic card.

And as stated in my previous post (and by many other users) Flash videos use to work just fine until the most recent update.

Video drivers update not available from my manufacturer (Dell). That's where I searched. I should have stated this in my post I guess.

After downloading the latest version of Adobe player, I now get the green band at the top on all videos. Sometimes if I click to go to full screen, the green band disappears; sometimes it doesn't. Additionally to the green band, the picture seems shifted a little. Like some of the colors are shifted down.... It appears that the height of the green band, is where there's a "Share" link? My guess is that other software might be interefering -- I have Real Player (which usually gives me a sort of "Download link at the top of the video), and AdBlock Plus (which gives me an ootion to Block the video). This only happens in FireFox 11.0 browser, and not in Google Chrome.

I'm seriously annoyed enough about this that I'll probably just go back to a previous version.

My video drivers are updated and I still have the problem.  The only solution for me right now is to disable hardware acceleration.  I don't use Firefox, so I haven't tried their help.  I've heard from others with nvidia cards who solved the problem with a driver update, but mine is a new laptop with a new card that's fully updated -- and I've heard from others with the same card who have the same problem as I.  So I think it's a bug that Adobe needs to address.

Hi I had a problem playing Youtube videos. Some videos turns green. This occur when I am using Nvidia 285.62 driver with the latest adobe flash player version 11.2.202.228. I fix the problem by updating my nvidia driver from 285.62 to 296.10. However, I reinstall the 285.62 because of the TDR problem in the latest 296.10 video driver. Unticking the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" also fix the problem but decrease performance when playing Youtube video. I hope there is something we can do about this on the next flash player version and considering the compatibility with 285.62 drivers. Thank you and more power.

My Specs are:

Intel Dual Core E5300 2.6ghz (Stock Never Overclocked)

ASUS P5KPL AM-SE

Inno3d GTS450 ddr5 128bit 1gb (Never Overclocked) Driver Version: 285.62(Stable)

4gb Kingson ddr2

500gb Seagate

Antec R8-2 650watts bronze 80+

Windows 7 ultimate 64bit

Adobe flash player version: 11.2.202.228 (Green Problem)

Chris, et. al.,

I took a look at Joan Lafferty''s page, "Updating My Flash Player Causes a Green Bar for Videos", and realized that I was relying on windows for checking for updates to the driver for my Nvidia Quadro 1000m GPU.  I had worked from device manager to check for a driver update and windows assured me I had the latest driver.

I went to the Nvidia site and downloaded a new driver for the Quadro 1000m -- and now the green bar is gone even with hardware acceleration turned on.  I am now using the 296.35 driver.  Unless my system has issues with this new driver, my problem is solved.

I have no idea if this approach will work for everyone else who has had this problem -- I guess we should emphasize that when checking to see if there is a driver update for an Nvidia GPU, to check the Nvidia site to be sure.

Personally I am running high-end 3D applications on a workstation class laptop. Only drivers qualified by the manufacturer of the computer are qualified for the applications I run. I could go ahead and install the latest drivers from NVIDIA but I could very well run into a whole bunch of new problems with these applications that I am not interesedt running and wasting any time into. Been there is the past...
