It's Mr. Hamling, and I'm glad I could help you out! Since I have posted this I have gotten an SSD and completely reinstalled Windows and PD10. I'm also on nVidia driver 301.42 and I haven't had the problem surface again. I know PD10 also had an update within that time frame as well. So you should be able to have hardware acceleration with out the green flashing screen issues. I guess make sure everything is up-to-date and you should be fine. If disabling hardware acceleration worked for you and you don't really notice a difference than I guess you could live with it but I think the issue was fixed in either the driver update or the PD10 update.

Cheers!

Quote: I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in as well. I noticed on the first post that you have an nVidia graphics card and you stated that it's up-to-date as of March 4th, '12. I'm assuming you mean the latest drivers as of then, which would have been the 295 drivers.

I have also had the green flashing screen problems in PowerDirector 10. Upon delving deep into the problem, it seems these drivers don't work with hardware acceleration. I deselected the "Enable hardware decoding" check box in the Preferences under Hardware Acceleration. And to my surprise it fixed it immediately.

Since then, nVidia has released the 296.10 drivers but they haven't fixed this problem either. Running the 285 drivers my computer came with, everything was fine. I'm not sure if this is a CyberLink or nVidia driver problem but I'm leaning heavily towards the drivers.

I can only hope a newer driver can fix this as the latest drivers have increased my gaming performance significantly for my gtx 560 ti. And recording gaming sessions for editing is my job, so going back to older drivers for less performance isn't an option for me.
