video full screen problem

Had to reformat and reload XP along with sp3 and all updates and now
when I am viewing a video on u-tube on the internet and click on the
full screen button, all I get is a white screen and the sound. Escape
will bring me back. I tried both IE and SM with no good results, so am
thinking that I may need something else. Anybody got a suggestion, TIA

Update your display drivers to the most recent.

Make sure you're running the most recent version of Adobe Flash.

Try running your screen at a different resolution.

You are not going to leave it that way, are you? As without hardware
acceleration your CPU has to work harder. If your computer hardly works
hard doing most of your tasks, I guess it would be okay.

And the most recent version of Adobe Flash (or anything else) might not
be the best one to use. Doesn't hurt to try most of the time though. But
sometimes the newest is the one causing the problem.
