All of a sudden, when I try to watch stuff on my computer screen; I get a green screen. Weird, because everything worked fine yesterday...
Trying to watch a web cam at Chama, NM; and a youtube video from Purdue....

I have the latest and greatest version of flash installed...

Didn't think to try that; everyone else in the house uses Chrome.

Stuff I checked works with Chrome...

But deep down I am still an IE kinda guy...

Thanks for the quick help!!!

In Windows 7, you can find out here:

control panel > programs > programs and features > installed updates

Edit to add:

Try this answer and see if it works:

If it doesn't work, then you can try googling the answer - it seems to be a common problem for a long time - didn't see any real good answers besides the one above, but you can look around for more:
