    I am not able to see online videos in the "FULL SCREEN" mode on my T61. For e.g. You Tube etc. As soon as I click on "full screen", it gives me a blank screen with some basic color. This does not happen on my other machine with XP on it. Any thoughts? Is there something to do with my graphics card? Or any other settings?

    I have T61 with integrated graphics (Intel) WXGA+ TFT 14.1" screen.

    sounds like a video driver problem - is there an update somewhere that you haven't applied. Also, some vid programs kick into DX mode for full screen, so that driver could be bad - out of date

    I made a slight correction to your post ;)

    right-click on the video, select "settings", and then turn off "hardware acceleration".

    The problem appears to be with the latest version of flash.

    EDIT: apparently the problem is not with flash, but instead possibly with Intel video drivers and the way they (dont) utilise hardware acceleration. Maybe a subsequent Intel video driver will fix the problem.

    no problem :)

    I assume that a new release of Adobe Flash in the near future (hopefully) will solve the problem.
