Hello all.

Ok here is the run down. A month ago I bought an Acer Aspire 5715Z Laptop. It RUNS Vista Home Premium, has 2Gb ram and 1 160Gb H.D with an Intel Dual Core Pentium processor.

Al was well, but I have found two issues that I think may be linked. If I go to 'YouTube' and watch a video, it uses the Adobe Flash player and works fine. But, if I select the 'Full Screen' mode it will not show the video, instead imagine being very very very zoomed in onto somthing. No shapes, but you can see highlights and colours change on the screen [so it is not simple black or GREY screen with no movement at all]

In windows Media player, if I am streaming content say from BBC News site it wil not show the video full stop unless it is as '50% zoom' so I cannot show 100% or 200% let alone full screen. I can play a DVD fine, and this will play full screen.

So to sum up. Two seperate programs, both that will not show full screen or even with WMP 100% ETC. The big problem is, this has begun only in the last week. All that I have done in this time is: INSTAL but never run Real Player. Download the latest version of Adobe Flash player and Java, together with shockwave player.

Any idea what could cause this? The resolution of panel i have tried changing from high to low without luck. Uninstall Real Player.
Next use this Guide  to uninstall Flash and re-install it.
Re-boot and see if this has cleared things up...
