Green Lines Through Vidio

DickyMint51 — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:19:41 GMT

Hi, I have recently fitted a new hard drive to my Sony Vaio desktop computer model number VGC-LM1M.

When I play a YouTube Vidio its fine, but when I click to play full screen I get a grainey picture with several bright green lines through the bottom part of the screen. Can anyone tell me if this is just a driver/software problem? or is it my graphics card?

Thank you,

David.

Hi David,

Assuming this is only happening on full screen with YouTube video it is unlikely to be a graphics chip problem. I assume that in general use this problem is not apparent – playing a DVD video etc?

Have you updated your Adobe Flash Player recently? If not do so. If you have then this could possibly be a glitch in a recent release, in which case try turning off Hardware Acceleration – right click the video and select settings > click the first tab at the bottom und uncheck ‘Enable hardware acceleration’. You may need to restart the video for changes to take effect.
