cannot max screen for video viewing

[jwiskema]

When I attempt to maximize the screen to view a video on hulu or youtube I get a half gray/black screen.  You can hear the movie and click on the screen to stop/start it but it does not display it.  It will however play netflixs movies at full screen which uses silverlight instead of flash.  This happens on all browsers I have tried.  I have updated my video card driver and run general updates.  I have also not changed resolutions. 

My computer is a toshiba satellite amd turion 64x2, 3gb, 32bit vista ult.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks,
Hyde

Maybe update flash?

Yeah did that also, thanks for the response  though.  My model number is A215-S6816, if that helps any.

You may have to use lower resolution and color depth.
Also, you may have a hardware accelerator that does not work well with flash.
Disable the hardware declaration and see.

Thank you so much.  You were correct about that hardware accelerator;  I had to right click on the flash player and turn i off and it now works.  It is however of a much poorer quality.  Anything you know to improve that?  Thanks again.

Full screen is always lower quality because the pixels are just stretched.
