Well, I took my computer to a Microsoft repair specialist, and he charged me $80, and I got home and had the same issues! So I called him, and he said the best thing to do would be to reformat the hard drive and start fresh. So I did, and I also deleted the Lubuntu OS, since I found that the programs are not totally compatible with Windows OS (specifically PowerPoint). Anyway, after hours getting back to where I started, the video still freezes in full screen mode. I have ordered (2) 2 Gig RAM cards, to replace the (2) 512 MB RAM cards that are currently in my laptop. Maybe that will help? By the way, I do have the latest Dell upgrade to my video card.
