    Need help,

    I have a CTO FW, 2.53 CPU, 4GB RAM, Vista Premium, ATI HD 3470.

    When I try to play any type of flash based video, such as youtube, in full screen mode I just get a screen with two different solid colors separated by a diagonal line created by the contrast of the two halves of the screen (sounds more confusing than it looks).

    Windows is completely up do date as well as flash, my browsers, and the graphics card.

    Make it work, thanks.

    Update your flash, it will fix your issue as it did mines.

    Or right click on the video and uncheck the acceleration box.

    you can update your flash, which is what i did, but look at my recent post about youtube/audio problems. You may recieve problems with your audio when playing youtube videos if you upgrade, so you have to choose between good sound on youtube or full screen.

    This is only a youtube issue...as i mentioned in my post. I hope this isn't "double posting"....

    Could you show me a video that gives you a problem? I don't experience anything out of the ordinary with mines, even at max volume.
