Does anyone know of any? For some reason AF has been fucking up in my laptop, first it didn't let me watch full screen videos on youtube ( got a black screen ) and now it won't update the youtube window size when i get it to 480p.

I uninstalled it and am using html5 for now but some websites really require flash to be viewed correctly. Any ideas?

Check your video driver.
Had the problem with some beta drivers from Nvidia where the GPU acceleration did not work.
Might be a different problem in your case, but might be worth trying.

Try installing an older version of your drivers? I don't know how proficient you are regarding those matters though.

You're a mad genius David, i unchecked hardware acceleration in the settings and it fixed everything.

Ok so hardware acceleration does not work with flash on your rig.
My guess is a driver bug.
You can either install a previous version that worked or wait for the next.
Or maybe even try a clean install of your current drivers then flash.
Because disabling hardware acceleration just for flash is a bit too much, isn't it? Or you constantly switch it on/off?
