YouTube full-screen glitch

[Thanatognomonic]

Hey guys,
I recently moved my monitor up to 1600x1050 (it's recommended size) via a VGA cable.
It works fine with most applications, but when it comes to trying to full-screen a YouTube video it does this weird glitch. (excuse the video, It was just what I was playing at the time.)

With this, the video will freeze on this specific frame, but the audio will keep running.
I know when I use YouTube in a lower resolution (1280x1024 seems to be the highest which doesn't do this) this glitch ceases to exist. Personally, I feel that this may be due to my old CPU (Semprom 140), but thankfully it'll be getting a complete upgrade soon.

Is it to do with my CPU or is it another problem?

Specs in case you need to know.
AMD Semprom 140
Geforce GTX 660ti
4GB RAM
Windows XP 32-bit.

The solution to your problem could very well depend on whichversion of "flash" you have installed.While the video is in regular mode (not "full screen"), right-clickon the video itself. Fromthe drop-down menu, click "Settings".If you get 5 icons on thevery bottom row, you might be in luck.The first 2 icons should both show you a monitor.Click the onethat features a graphicon the bottom of its screen (usually thefirst icon). You should thus get "Enable hardware acceleration".Whatever the box shows you, click the opposite, and then clickon "Close".

Although my advice seemingly goes against the basic principleof "flash", it actually works. You can always double-check foryourself by going to Flash's own website. Here is the completeURL address typed out in full, followed by its direct link: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~If this doesn't work for you, and you have the stupid Google WebAccelerator, please trash it -- it wreaks havoc with YouTube.

Alright,
I disabled hardware accelerator and then the video took about 0.5 seconds before it'd freeze up.
I clicked on the macromedia link and it didn't work, so I went on a hunt for Google WebAccelerator. I used the add/remove programs and Iobit uninstaller and to no it didn't exist. I made sure by running a search and still nothing came up.
I then tried to see if this problem happened on over browsers, so I checked Opera. The Macromedia link still doesn't work on it but the youtube fullscreen issue is resolved using Opera.

Is there any other ways of potentially fixing this problem on Google Chrome?

Check your flash player version in www.whatismyflash.com
See the latest version from Adobe http://www.google.co.in/url?q=http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/&sa=U&ei=XuoOU4eTMs7aoASh1IGwBg&ved=0CDEQFjAB&usg=AFQjCNFNOljCu_gAfXCuajQZ6N62Wj2kJg
If your flash player is not latest then download from Adobe


Now open Chrome and go to chrome://plugins
At the top right, click the +Details
Under the Flash section, you should see 3 players installed. Disable the pepflashplayer.dll and disable the gcswf32.dll player so that only the NPSWF32_11_4_402_265.dll player is enabled.
Restart Chrome.

I had the same problem with my GeForce 760 on Win 8.1 in Chrome: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2037759/fullscreen-work-youtube-chrome.html#12770673

The solution was updating my GeForce driver.

I did not have any option to change Flash driver in Chrome.

I hope it works

Alright. I tried re-installing flash whilst I downloaded the newest GeForce drivers. Them two didn't work

but the videos tutorial worked perfectly.

Thanks so much for your help guys!
