- Not able to play Flash video in full screen on my HP laptop
- Posted by ceed on March 12th, 2008
Hi,
I am not able to play any Flash based video (like YouTube) in full
screen on my HP laptop. When I select full screen mode I am left with a
black screen while sound continues to play. I then click "Esc" and I'm
back to video playback within the web-site.
My laptop has Intel 965 graphics and runs Windows Vista. All other
kinds of video runs in full screen without problems (DVD, AVI, QT
etc). All drivers are up to date, and Windows runs without problems.
Does anyone here know what could cause this?

Try turning off Hardware Acceleration in the display properties.
Personalize | Display Settings | Advanced Settings | Troubleshoot
Assuming your driver doesn't prohibit any such change (as my ATI Xpress 200M
does, sigh)

I had a similar problem. Although I believe it had to do with WMV and
not FLV formats. But maybe not, it was so long ago. And the fix was
going into Windows Media Player's options and telling it not to enable
full screen. Yes the opposite from what you think. And web based videos
started playing in full screen again. Weird I know. Give it a shot,
maybe it will work.

I found a solution...it came to me with what val had said. When you
go to youtube or the site to play the flash video start it playing.
Right click on the video and go to settings. there you will see a
window open up for the flash player settings. It will say hardware
acceleration. Just uncheck that and it should work. Hope this helps
I know it worked for me.

This is all caused by a recent Adobe flash update. Refer 'How do I vie
a video in full screen mode?' (http://tinyurl.com/yvhp4y

I recently installed an updated Flash player, and now full screen works.
