    Hi,
    I can't figure out why full screen HD Youtube videos look terrible on this machine. I've installed the 8.930 drivers this morning. When I load up a video and show the video information, it informs me it is doing software rendering and hardware decoding. The same videos on a Lenovo I've got hardware render.

    Does anyone know why this is?

    I have checked the hardware box in Flash settings. CCC settings are default. The browser (IE/FF/Chrome) is set to high perf.
