vostro v13 video issues

I have run into a few video issues on the V13.  Wondering if anyone else has seen these problems

 

1.  When playing Flash video (e.g. YouTube), all I see is a green screen.  This seems to be a problem that is caused by hardware acceleration.  After I go into Flash settings and deselect "enable hardware acceleration", then flash video runs fine.

2.  While trying to re-install video drivers from the Dell website, I get an error message:  "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer.  Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer's manufacturer."  And yes, I have double-checked to ensure that I indeed have the correct driver files for the V13. 

It seems as though there is a problem with the video card.  I am guessing it's a hardware issue.

btw, I am running Windows 7, 32-bit.   Has anyone else seen this?
