Default Cannot get full screen in You Tube with Flash Player

Hi Freethinker,
You are brilliant! That works just fine.
Had previously looked on Adobe web site forum and the "boffins" there
couldn't come up with something this simple.You are brilliant. Sorry for the
delay in answering you. Thanks. Hope this helps others.

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!
