Documenting workaround for other people, and whinging for myself

I've recently been having problems with the BBC iPlayer and YouTube. Watching full-screen videos just stopped working. They'd worked fine for ages then all of a sudden both well... stopped. The error message was a fairly innocuous "The driver R300 has stopped responding and was restarted" and would only happen in full screen videos.

Updated all drivers, going to ATI's website and downloading drivers from there, which Windows Vista really didn't like, and immediately downloaded a different version again!

I found a fix - turning off Adobe Flash's HW acceleration. This is a problem though in that it looks terrible with fast moving full-screen video.

Ho hum.
