Answer 1

What you need to do is go to control pannel then you go to display if you are using windows xp then you to to settings and then look for a thing on settings that says colors and go to 16 bit and that should fix it. if your using Windows Vista you have to go to control pannel apearance and personalization then go to ajust screen resalution look for colors and change it to 16 bit



this should help you i had the same problem so i hoped this helped

Answer 2

The solution to your problem actually depends on which version

of "flash" you have installed.



While the video is in regular mode (not "full screen"), right-click

on the video itself. From the drop-down menu, click "Settings..."

If you get 5 different icons on the very bottom row, you might be

in luck.



The first 2 icons should both show you a monitor. Click the one

that features a graphic on the bottom of its screen (probably the

first icon). You should thus get "Enable hardware acceleration".

Whatever the box shows you, click the opposite, and then click

on "Close". This seems to be the solution for quite a few people.



Although this advice seemingly contradicts Macromedia's own

website, you can always double-check for yourself. Here is the

download utilities.)

Laptop Video To Go

Answer 4

I'm not really sure if youtube has a full screen mode. But why don't you try going to www.veoh.com. Then you can download VEOH TV that enables you to download videos from that site. And using that player you can view all your downloaded videos in a larger screen size. Although it's not full screen, at least it's WAY TOO LARGER than youtube's.

Answer 5

Check what resolution your screen is running in at the moment.

Go, start,settings,control panel, then click the display icon, click the settings tab at the top. If the slider is set at the max try moving over to the left to decrease the resolution. Then try You Tube. Your desktop icons will appear bigger the lower the res, so don't go too far down!

Answer 6

In this case, you can try to download the vid before watching.

I'm using Moyea flv downloader. It downloads very fast with high quality and supports full screen.



And it is FREE.

It is very easy to handle.



You needn't get the url when downloading the vid.

Just press "start recording"

Click in the page where the vid is playing

The downloader will automatically save it to your hard disk.



Then you can watch it with the embeded flv player.



You can search "flv downloader" on google.com for more info.
