    Question Press esc to exit full screen mode...

    Every time I go to watch a Youtube video in fullscreen I get that in the middle of it and it never disappears and neither does the cursor which normally does too. It was happening a while back then went OK again but now it's started again for no apparent reason. I have the latest version of Flash/Firefox and I've tried reinstalling flash and refreshing the page etc.
    Any idea what's causing this? I quick Google search shows I'm far from the only one with the problem but no-one seems to have a solution.

    CONFLICKER - ITS BACK1!!11!1

    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    I hear enabling local storage for Flash content on YouTube may solve it (right click on whatever YouTube video you're watching>settings>local storage tab). Have you got it disabled globally?

    There's some stuff I'd really rather watch in fullscreen like hour long shows and HD videos. It's spelt conficker BTW

    Yeah I do have local storage disabled TBH - I'll see if that works...
    Edit: When I try to change settings that way the settings dialogue opens then freezes and I have to refresh the page to get rid of it. I tried using the flash settings manager http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...manager07.html to no avail.

    Edit2: Oh hang on it's working again. Thanks!

    I get that freeze too. Rather annoying, as I have local storage disabled as well. Glad it's sorted.
