Video's (youtube and news websites show twice (in a split video screen top/bottom divided by a thick green bar. Sometimes the sound is also messed up (screeches). In IE theyplay just fine. I use Win XP Nvidea 8600 gts. Anyone help with this?
When veiwing videos on news channels (bbc) or on youtube. Most times the video window splits into two. A top window and bottom window divided by a thick green bar even in full screen.
Sometimes the sound is garbled (screeches). The problem does not exist in IE and has only been present since downloading Firefox. I like firefox, but would return to IE if this problem can't be fixed.

It's a feature of your graphics card that was accidentally switched on by the latest flash update. Disabling hardware acceleration is a dirty fix that works; updating your drivers will reportedly reset the switch and fix your problem, but I haven't tried it.

Thank you for your quick answer. I checked the microsoft hardware updates and they had a new driver update for my gfx card (released July 2010). After installation everything was fixed.
Your help is very much appreciated, thank you.
I updated the driver via the microsoft update site and lost all network connections. I reverted to the previous driver and POOF! all was well. Got the network back and no more split screen.
