can't watch full screen videos
For some reason, I can't watch full screen videos on my laptop. This occurs on any player including on youtube. All that appears is a gray screen. I used to be able to watch full screen 2 weeks ago.
What happened and what can I do??

Hi Steph19. Try this and see if it helps. Rightclick inside the YouTube Window and choose Settings on the Flash Player popup. Click on the first Icon of a monitor (Display Panel) in the bottom lefthand corner and uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration". Did this fix your problem?
