    Hey everyone,

    I've noticed that a few days ago it was no longer possible to watch fullscreen video (specifically flash video) on my M17x. I've updated drivers, the bios, everything, and the only way to watch video is by unchecking the "Enable hardware acceleration" feature, then the video ends up being grainy and slow, but can be watched in full screen.

    Does anyone know what the problem could be? I can't figure this out for the life of me! I would appreciate the help because I've purchased a HD stream for this weekend and would like to have this work properly by that time. Thanks!

    Seems like another driver issue. Even with Stealth mode enable you should be able to see video in full screen. What drivers did you update? In the Device Manager does it have your video cards listed, it should show 3 the 2 260s and the Geforce 9400.
