Flash player crash Youtube when full screen.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Everytime I full screen a youtube video, flash player just crashes. I've tried to re-install it but it's still doing the same.

Any ideas?

Have you tried different browsers? You could also try disabling Hardware acceleration or installing an older version of Flash player instead? See here.

Exactly the same in different browsers. Tried IE/FF. Will try an older version.

Older version exactly the same. :/

Settings button is greyed out and when I go to the global settings panel, there is no option to disable hardware acceleration.

Strange, any ideas? :confused:

Thanks

Fixed it now. Had to go to the Flash player test screen and go into the settings from that and disable hardware acceleration.

Cheers

When the video starts to play (before you make it full screen) right click and hit settings. From here you should be able to do it.

edit: too late
