I am getting a split screen when watching youtube videos through firefox. Anyone else getting the same thing or know how to fix?
It started on Sunday.
 
Try right-clicking the Youtube video and looking for "Settings", then see if "Hardware acceleration" is enabled. If it is, disable it and see if that helps.

Thanks Miles, that sorted it- Brilliant.

On another note.
when i plug one of my hard disk storage drives (Elements) into my computer i get a virus/worm warning for the "autorun" file and a restart is required.
I have run my antivirus (virgin media security) which is usually very good but it doesnt detect any problems, and a restart does nothing,
I cants see how it has got a virus? Any ideas?:comp2:

Maybe download another free antivirus package like Avast or AVG and see what that makes of it. I don't know why an external HD would have an autorun file on it, they are usually used on CDs or DVDs to bring up a menu when you pop the disc in. Do you get anything on screen when you connect your HD?

Yes- see screenshot.
The wierd thing is I cant find an autorun.inf file on my elements HD, but my virgin anti-virus picks up on it everytime i plug it in, only for it not to find anything wrong on the scan!
My other HD (maxtor) has an "autorun.inf" file in the first folder opened up and it doesnt cause any problems, just my elements HD.
