Flash Player Plugin Screen Tearing

[Jaros]

This is a strange issue. I've reinstalled Flash player multiple times and nothing fixes it. When the Flash player plug-in starts to play a video, what appears to be screen tearing will occur on my second monitor, and very occasionally my main monitor as well. Whats strange is that if I continually refresh the video the screen tearing occurs lower and lower down the screen until it resets back at the top and heads down again. Can anyone tell me whats causing this?

I've reinstalled my the drivers on my HD 5770 to no avail. I thought maybe it was the monitor but since it very occasionally occurs on the main monitor as well I've ruled that out. Also it won't occur if either monitor is disabled, only when I have both screens running. It's not a huge issue but it is quite annoying.

It may be a faulty video card - overheating or flaky video ram.

Edit: Was not the video card ports, the problem switched monitors without changing the ports again. Back to square 1.

The video card is certainly not overheating as it sits around 48C idle. It's a fairly new card with no other problems besides using Flash player so I'm really thinking its some type of software issue. This problem didn't always occur either, it only started happening a few weeks ago and the card is a few months old now.

Hi, I'm Antonino and I'm from Italy.

I got the same problem.

Tearing with the lousy flash player.

I tried to uninstall flash player, the graphic card driver, install another versione of flash player...but nothing changed.

I think that this problem appeared when I installed the latest versione of flop player...

I've got a Samsung R710 AS03 notebook which has a P8400@2,26 Ghz, 4 GB RAM DDR3 and a NVIDIA 9600M GT with 512 MB of GDDR3 VRAM. My OS is 7 Ultimate 64 bit with the latest fixes.

It seems that the only solution is to format...but I don't feel like it....................

If anyone has a solution please share it...

The screen tearing disappeared using Aero with Windows 7.

The base theme has no V-sync (you can see tearing moving a windows to the left and to the right). If you enable Aero (transparency, ecc.) and try to move a window to the left and to the right, there is no screen tearing. So Aero = V-sync, no Aero = no V-sync.

Same thing on youtube...tearing has gone away...lol.

I think it is a bug with the newest version of flash player, because youtube had no screen tearing even if I used the base theme of Windows 7...

Aero eat a lot of video ram...so, if you wanna play a game, it is better to switch to the base theme...

Hope it helps...

Thanks for the heads-up.

We'll keep an eye out for this with the new Flash upgrade.
