Green bar on top of every (web) video, distorted colors too

Since a few days I have a problem with some videos I watch on the web (youtube, vimeo etc). There is a green bar on the top of the video and the colors are distorted, it looks like they are somehow shifted.

I am not sure since when this problem appeared, I guess it might have been an update for the flash player. Anyways, I found a workaround. Disabling the hardware acceleration, by unchecking right click on video - settings - enable hardware acceleration, helps. After reloading of the page the green bar is gone.

The problem is that this setting doesn't seem to be persistent and I have to disable it again on every other video. Next thing is that I prefer to use HW acceleration. How can I make this setting permanent or how to get rid of the green bar alltogether?

Solution 1:

Updating the drivers for my graphic card solved the problem.

I feel a bit stupid, this probably would've been the first thing I had asked for in a comment if someone else had a similar question.

Solution 2:

You should try to uninstall and install again.

"uninstall flash player 32bit.exe" search this on google then, after you uninstalled completely, you proceed to reinstall it.
