| Administrator ![]() ![]() | Re: Cannot get full screen in You Tube with Flash Player Did you already download the latest Adobe Flash Player, v9,0,115,0 released on 12-03/2007? Perhaps it will work better for you. I have no problems going to full screen mode with YouTube videos using it. http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...h&promoid=BIOW Shawn |

| Administrator ![]() ![]() | Re: Cannot get full screen in You Tube with Flash Player Charlie, You might check your Internet Explorer security level settings and make sure for "Internet" you have it set to the "Default level (Medium-High)". When I bumped it up to "High", I had problems with the videos to. (Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab) Hope this helps you track the problem. Shawn |

| Guest | Re: Cannot get full screen in You Tube with Flash Player Hello, I was getting the very same anomaly, (a diagonal, white on top/grey on bottom that flashed color when playing), and I just stumbled upon a quick fix: 1. Right-click in the standard youtube video window (non-full screen). 2. Choose 'Settings...' from the Flash Player's pop-up menu. 3. Uncheck the 'Enable Hardware Acceleration' 4. Click 'Close'. Full-screen should now work, or at least it did for me. Some kind of Flash incompatibility with latest Firefox build, it would seem. I am running vista, so maybe that has something to do with it, as well. Good luck! -- freethinker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ freethinker's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=37002 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=867875 http://forums.techarena.in |

| Newbie | Re: Cannot get full screen in You Tube with Flash Player I had the same problem. Entered support tickets at the computers manufacturer (Acer) the Reseller (Paradigiti in the netherlands) and AMD (Mufacturer of my ATI Radeon 2600 Pro). All could not come up with this brilliant sollution!! Now I'm trying to find out why hardware accelaration is not supported. I did not by this rather expensive card to let my CPU do all the graphics work did I. If I get some positive feedback from the guys at AMD I will drop a line in this post. THX a million times!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Newbie | Re: Cannot get full screen in You Tube with Flash Player I have just been with a customer who has the same problem. However "Enable hardware acceleration" cannot be unticked. In fact, after right clicking, I cannot change any of the flash setting. He has a Toshiba Equium running Vista and the up-to-date flash. Any ideas why I cannot change the flash setting? I have been able to change them on every other computer I've come across. Thanks. |

| Newbie | Re: Cannot get full screen in You Tube with Flash Player Ive got a reply from AMD. As it seems their newest driver (8.1) has some known issues in Vista, they advised me to try the older 7.3 version. I haven't tried this yet but maybe it will solve your problem in the meantime. |
