I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment laptop that runs Vista. Has been problem free since purchase abt 4 years ago. About 7 months ago, while streaming video from various sites, when I change it to full screen mode, it will play ok for about 5 seconds, then freeze. The audio will continue about 3 more seconds then stop. If, however, I move the cursor in the screen, it will restart the streaming and sort of catch up to where it should've been, given it had not stopped. So odd and frustrating. I suspect it has something to do with adobe flash, but have tried to follow various fixes I have found online, and so far nothing helps. Have updated drivers, cleaned out caches and cookies. Removed and reinstalled Firefox and all adobe products. Any help out there?
Does the same thing happen from Internet Explorer? Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
I don't use IE and do not want to start now, but thanks for the suggestion. I just deleted the newest version of Adobe Flash and reinstalled the older but perhaps more stable (for FF) version 10. the freezing has stopped.
I wasn't asking you to switch to using IE. It's just that if you had IE on board it would
prove or disprove whether it was a browser issue.Glad to hear the freezing has stopped, maybe Adobe Flash was corrupted. I have Flash version 11 running fine on Vista, Win7 and XP. It might have been clashing with some other software you have installed I suppose.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
