Full Screen problem

Feb 1, 2008 7:19 AM

I was able to play movies before in a full screen mode, but recently it started freezing video content when I click on open to fuul screen icon. I reinstalled 9.0.115.0 player and reinstalled activeX, still no help. Maybe I should install an older player? If yes, where do I find an older version?
Thanks

I have the same problem, runnig Vista business. It has been previouly working, but probably after a Windows update or for an unknown reason, the full screen mode is not working. the player is working but in fullscreen I get only the sound, the screen is either black or grey, but no video. I tried to uninstall, reinstall with the administrator account, but it's still not working.
Waiting for a fix either from Adobe or Microsoft.

Added later: ------> My friends there is a simple fix:

- on the video, right click.
- select settings
- click the tab Display (little painting brush)
- UNCHECK : enable hardware acceleration.

Now it works. : ;-))

When I installed 9.0.115.0 approximately 3 weeks ago, I discovered that I could no longer access videos in full screen. I therefore used System Restore to return to a date prior to installing this version. Everything worked normally but in the last few days IE continually crased. I have now installed 9.0.115.0 again, and have lost my full screen capability again. I have been advised to ditch Adobe in favour of another program, but would have thought Adobe could have sorted this out by now. I am also surprised there are not more replies to this thread!

I'm also having this issue, Vista Business Flash 9 R115. I'm beginning to get tired of waiting for a fix, this is extremely frustrating.

I think its a problem with the player and its compatibility with the service packs rather than the Os itself.

Thank you that works! But the esc button does not return me to small screen and I have to use contr-alt- del to get back. An ideas?

Its really strange but I was having the sane problem and was getting so flustrated I considered paying someone to look over my system but first I used system restore to roll back to a working setting which was okay for about a week but then we came across the same issue again. Ive done a clean install of xp and installed the latest player and its fine now making me think there is a conflict there.
