Can't watch YouTube in Fullscreen any longer...=(

I get severe stuttering if i try to watch YouTube vids fullscreen, this is new since 2008. I've looked at alot of things so far. The system is WinXP sp2 latest patches etc., and if i use either FireFox(latest) or IE7(latest), neither works.

I have about 8 user accounts on this system right now, i have this problem for half of these accounts, i tried creating new user accounts (YT works for new users), then moving user data over to the new accounts and i get mixed results in that YT works for some, but not all.

It seemed like a network speed issue at first, so i switched from a 1.5Mb/s wireless to 4Mb/s cable connection to internet, no fix. I even looked at SpyBot Teatimer, and SpyBlaster, and Hosts file, and ATIToolTray, no fixes occurred.

From a user account where YT works i run FireFox via Run As... on an account where YT does not work, then it works. I've tried creating new FF profiles on trouble accounts without that fixing the YT issue, so it seems something is running in the background that i cannot find on some accounts.

I have all the tools if someone has a clue please ask me to run one so we may diagnose this issue! Tia! 😃

    THE SOLUTION!

    WHEN YOU ARE VIEWING A NORMAL SIZED YOUTUBE VIDEO, RIGHT CLICK ON IT, GO TO SETTING AND DISABLE HARDWARE ACCELERATION
