Hi all, I've had this problem with the laptop since I bought it, it is only 4 months old.
The problem I have is when watching some videos online, i.e. youtube or anything else that you can stream, some videos are displayed very distorted, blurry, jumpy and multi coloured, its very hard to explain so I have taken a few screenshots so you can see what I mean by this. See attached - the first 3 are clearly the ones showing the problem... however, I can play a majority of videos fine, but then others from the same thing doesn't work. Also in attached is 2 screenshots of another video in HD also on youtube working fine to illustrate this.
This happens in multi browsers, I have tried in not just Chrome, but Internet Explorer and Firefox. All to the same problem ! When I play the same vidoes on my other laptop they work fine no problems.
This is what i have tried:
I thought it was the graphics card driver since I ruled out it being a browser problem, so I went to device manager, clicked on "Display adapters" and it only has one driver called "Intel(R) HD Graphics".. so I right clicked it and clicked "Uninstall" - everything then went very big and zoomed in so I then closed the extended parts, right clicked on "Computer" on Device Manager and clicked "Scan for Hardware changes" where it then said it found and installed new drivers - I then had a different driver name under my display adapters.. after restart the whole laptop screen was too large and it looked like the resolution was weird.. in the end I had to do a restore to undo what I tried just to get my display working properly again - the method didn't fix the viewing videos problem that is showed in my screenshots.
I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling all 3 browsers to no avail, and I have also uninstalled flash and reinstalled latest versions on my browsers and manually and again didn't fix the problem!
I don't know what else to try and so I have joined this forum in hope someone could help me... would be hugely appreciated as it's very annoying especially on such a new laptop!

Windows 7 Home Premium
Manufacturer: eMachines
Model: eME732Z
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU P6200 @ 2.13GHz 2.13GHz
