Hi all,
I'm having a strange thing happen whilst I'm viewing web pages. Where there should be advertisements etc I cant see them and instead its a red box. I've read on some forums it may be Java which I've updated but still the same. This is happening in Google Chrome and firefox. Could this be a graphics card related issue? I'm running Vista
Thanks to all for any help

No theres no x in the box, just a solid red box where advertisements should be.

Thanks for reply, will try that now. With regards to the video card (which I replaced quite recently) sometimes when I move the curser over a web page my desktop icons appear on screen? wierd. I'll update adobe now and let you know. Cheers mate

see what internet explorer shows but is not a videocard hardware issue & don't think it is videocard software issue tho you can update the driver if you haven't already.

I had to turn off 'hardware acceleration' in the Firefox options.
