================================
Just wondering...if you download one of
the YouTube clips to your hard drive...can
you view it fullscreen from there?

If you don't have a way to download the clips...
the following freebie may be worth a try:

Hi John, I can view it in full screen when I download it. However I don't
want to have to do this all the time as it defeats the purpose of just
surfing video clips if I have to DL them all the time. Any other ideas???

=================================
I understand, I was just checking to see if
you had the same issue when viewing offline.

Might be worth a try to reduce your Graphics
Hardware Acceleration.

"No guarantees and proceed at your own risk."

Windows Vista -
How To Reduce Graphics
Hardware Acceleration

1. Click Start, type personalization
in the Start Search box, and then
click Personalization in the Programs
list.

2. Click Display Settings.

3. Click Advanced Settings.

4. Click the Troubleshooting tab, and
then drag the Hardware Acceleration
slider to the left until it is one notch to
the right of None (the Basic acceleration
setting).

5. Click OK, and then click Close.

6. If you are prompted to restart the
computer, click Yes.

If the problem is improved...reinstall/
update your video driver. If the problem
is not improved...return the acceleration
to Full and seek a different solution.

Good luck.

==================================
Ok...try the following...

Right click an open area of your desktop and
select...Personalize / click Display Settings...
this should open the Display Settings dialog box.

Proceed with the steps I previously posted.

John, this is the message I am getting: "My current display driver does not
allow changes to this setting"
