I have 2 issues:

1-I have the newest adobe flash player and am watching a live eagle cam streaming video; until a few days ago I could click on the full screen icon below video and all was fine. now when i click on full screen, it goes to full screen and after 3-4 seconds flips back to web page. what happened? How can i fix it? I have not had any luck finding answers on web for this. Also, full screen works in Firefox, but NOT in IE

   XP Home sp3  IE has the problem

2-when i tried to download flash player from adobe.com, the flash download page freezes IE (tried about 20 times); I went directly to adobe.com, used link from 2 other sources to get to flash page - always freezes; Firefox is OK

Please advise how to fix the full screen pblm. i use this to display on TV

Thanks

    Hi, On the full screen issue, You may want to go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,
    then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.

    On Flash Player, if you have already Uninstalled the previous version then use this site for the appropriate (EXE Installer) for IE.  http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

    Download and SAVE it to your Desktop.

    Be sure to Close all browser Windows when Installing, Use the Administrator Account. Disable any instant messengers in the system tray also.

    Hope that helps,
