Answer» Hi, I'm new here so have no idea if this post is in the right place or not so please forgive me if it isn't. I've recently (about 3-4 weeks ago) got my comp back on the net after a year of it gathering dust and as you would expect it needed LOADS of updates. One of the updates that was needed was to the adobe flash player. I did have adobe 9 which was fine but there was one website that said I needed to upgrade to adobe 10 (not knowing much about computers and taking into account how long I've been off the net this all rang true) so I downloaded v10 from the website. All was fine untill I tried to go full screen and all I got was a white blank screen! I still had sound but no picture. Thinking it may have been a bad download from the site itself (which I've been told does happen) I went into the add/remove programs and unistalled adobe flash, went to download.com (which was suggested by a FRIEND) and again installed adobe flash player v10 and again had the same problem Like I said this has been going on now for 3-4 weeks and it's REALLY starting to do my nut For EXAMPLE - youtube - I go on there and I can watch the vids in the normal small screen fine (there may be a sync problem with some vids but I've been told I can solve that). As soon as I click on the icon to put the vid in full screen all I'm getting is a blank white screen. This is happening on every website I try to watch things in full screen. Windows media player is working fine and I can watch things in full screen on that all day long. I have tried to get a download of v9 as that seemed to work o.k but I can't seem to find anywhere that has it. I don't like BEGGING but could somebody PLEASE HELP ME?You want old version of adobe flash player? download it here you might also want to run the Flash player uninstaller first if necessary.Hi 2x3i5x No my media player is fine, I only mentioned that as I didn't know if that would have anything to do with the problem.Quote from: foamy13 on July 29, 2010, 07:22:59 PM Hi 2x3i5x No my media player is fine, I only mentioned that as I didn't know if that would have anything to do with the problem. reread my post. I didn't say anything about windows media player. Or I didn't now. So reread my post above again and your media player should not have anything to do with youtube...Hi again Ran the uninstaller first and then downloaded macromedia v9.

Youtube is saying I should upgrade to v10.give this a test: if you are using XP, Vista or windows 7, try downloading Google Chrome BROWSER and retry youtube again. Google Chrome has flash player already pre-installed with the browser so you don't need to separately download flash as a result and the browser will automatically install newer versions of flash for you so you don't need to worry about having to update it yourself manually. SEE if that gets gets youtube videos working on your computer. No joy! If I try with chrome I'm back to the blank white screen again lol I'm sorry for loling but if I don't the comp is gonna get thrown out the bedroom window As a side thought is there anything that might conflict with adobe v10?stupid computer lol Sorry had to say that. try the safe mode and see what happens. I don't know what would conflict with adobe v10. Shoot, try even with IE. See if IE gives you joy. And please make a screenshot of the problem you're getting. I'd like to see what it looks like

Hi, I'm new here so have no idea if this post is in the right place or not so please forgive me if it isn't.

I've recently (about 3-4 weeks ago) got my comp back on the net after a year of it gathering dust and as you would expect it needed LOADS of updates.

One of the updates that was needed was to the adobe flash player. I did have adobe 9 which was fine but there was one website that said I needed to upgrade to adobe 10 (not knowing much about computers and taking into account how long I've been off the net this all rang true) so I downloaded v10 from the website.

All was fine untill I tried to go full screen and all I got was a white blank screen! I still had sound but no picture. Thinking it may have been a bad download from the site itself (which I've been told does happen) I went into the add/remove programs and unistalled adobe flash, went to download.com (which was suggested by a FRIEND) and again installed adobe flash player v10 and again had the same problem

Like I said this has been going on now for 3-4 weeks and it's REALLY starting to do my nut

For EXAMPLE - youtube - I go on there and I can watch the vids in the normal small screen fine (there may be a sync problem with some vids but I've been told I can solve that). As soon as I click on the icon to put the vid in full screen all I'm getting is a blank white screen.

This is happening on every website I try to watch things in full screen.

Windows media player is working fine and I can watch things in full screen on that all day long. I have tried to get a download of v9 as that seemed to work o.k but I can't seem to find anywhere that has it.

I don't like BEGGING but could somebody PLEASE HELP ME?You want old version of adobe flash player?

you might also want to run the Flash player uninstaller first if necessary.Hi 2x3i5x

Hi 2x3i5x

No my media player is fine, I only mentioned that as I didn't know if that would have anything to do with the problem.

and your media player should not have anything to do with youtube...Hi again

Ran the uninstaller first and then downloaded macromedia v9.

Rebooted the comp and went onto youtube just now.

Insted of a white screen I have a firefox window and a black screen now (in all fairness it's more than I was getting before).

Youtube is saying I should upgrade to v10.give this a test:

if you are using XP, Vista or windows 7, try downloading Google Chrome BROWSER and retry youtube again.

SEE if that gets gets youtube videos working on your computer.

No joy!

I'm sorry for loling but if I don't the comp is gonna get thrown out the bedroom window

As a side thought is there anything that might conflict with adobe v10?stupid computer lol Sorry had to say that.
