After searching all over for a solution to this same problem I too found
that I could not uncheck the "enable hardware accelerator" in the flash
player.

After some other random searching I found a solution though.

Go to appearance and personalization in Vista and adjust screen resolution.
Reduce colour to 16 bit temporarily. You can now go and uncheck the box in
flashplayer at youtube etc. THen simply go back and reset the colour to 32
bit.

I am in no way computer literate and simply wanted a solution to this
problem. This works, whether or not it is a "correct" solution is another
matter.

Hi all,
I've already tried disabling hw accelleration but it's very resources consuming so that for watching a video I suggest to us IE (generally not)

Btw we'll get a quicker answer from mozilla foundation than from M$ or adobe...
Let's share the action to push all together the right organization.
