On my Toshiba Satellite lap top I cannot get the flash player to play in full
screen.
Have tried downloading player from both Firefox and I.E
When I hit the full screen button all I get is a blank screen with a
diagonal line right across.
Am to to lap tops .Has anyone any ideas I could try.
Thanks

Hi. I only got this lap top yesterday so I reckon I have got the latest
version downloaded.
I have no problem with this on my desktop computer so I was thinking maybe
it is something I am not doing right with it. Thanks for replying.

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.

After searching all over for a solution to this same problem I too found
that I could not uncheck the "enable hardware accelerator" in the flash
player.

After some other random searching I found a solution though.

Go to appearance and personalization in Vista and adjust screen resolution.
Reduce colour to 16 bit temporarily. You can now go and uncheck the box in
flashplayer at youtube etc. THen simply go back and reset the colour to 32
bit.

I am in no way computer literate and simply wanted a solution to this
problem. This works, whether or not it is a "correct" solution is another
matter.

Hi, mcsmith76.

Have you seen this page:
Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html

The key line says:
"To use Flash Player to view Flash content on a 64-bit operating system,
youmust run a 32-bit browser."

Yes, that's Adobe's official page, and it was last updated in October 2008,
apparently.

Hi, mcsmith76.

I suspect that this one is not Adobe's fault. I don't see a "full-screen"
icon on that page, so I suspect that This Old House doesn't want us to see
it except in its little window - even in 32-bit.
