Full Screen gives blank screen

Hi,
When I click the Display Full Screen button on any site, such as YouTube, I get a full blank white screen, and still have the audio playing. Pressing Esc returns to regular display. How can I get the Full Screen to work?
I have:
XP
IE8
Flash Player 10.2
Thanks,
Mike

Hi mikeytexas, I love it!! You solved your own problem. Great advice by the way
Glad you posted and especially your solution!!!

Startx & gdm give blank screen

I'd like to get GNOME installed for a GUI environment. Proving difficult. Anybody have any idea how to help me?
typing "startx" gives blank screen
setting "systemctl enable gdm" gives blank screen after boot
setting "systemctl start gdm" gives blank screen
I installed brand new Arch (2014.10.01) following the wiki step by step. Everything worked okay. So I set out to get gnome installed.
To install gnome, I installed:
xorg-server
xorg-xinit
xf86-video-intel
libva-intel-driver
libva
lib32-mesa-libgl (after uncommenting pacman.conf)
gnome (with all 1-40)
I tried adding "exec gnome-session" to the ~./xinitrc file and then rebooting but this did nothing.
Did I miss installing something? Some file need configuring?
By the way, how do I get internet at boot automatically without having to type "dhcpcd <ethernet-adapter-name here>" after every boot?

Not sure how to fix it, but you should need the base install, xorg-server, gnome, and I usually include the option xorg-server-utils but that shouldn't be needed?
At that point you should be able to enable/start GDM and if everything goes good it will work. Obviously not your case, I just say this to point out that so far your not wrong...
No idea on that one, but first I would be looking at making sure I had the right video drivers for xorg (see the xorg wiki page about identifying video card with 'lspci | grep -e VGA -e 3D' ), and look up the logs to see what X is actually doing and if its running and just outputing to the wrong display or if there are errors, ect...
Internet kind depends on how/what your trying to do, however in your case the most normal thing would likely be to install network manager, then you will probably also have to download a gnome network manager applet (I think its network-manager-applet)
This will give you the normal system tray icon to manage your network manager settings.
With only a command line I typically prefer wifi-menu for ease.

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

Full screen video blank and aac music stutters! iTunes 7.0.1

When listening to music, the sound will sometime just stop, the music is not paused and the playback time counter at the top of the screen is stuck. Menus in the program still work, but until the program is restarted, the music will not resume. I tried disabling crossfade and made sure my sound drivers are up to date. There is plenty of RAM and CPU resources available to iTunes. I went into the Quicktime control panel settings and tried all the compatability settings for directX and still have had no luck. It will happen anywhere from 20 seconds to 20 minutes after iTunes is started. iTunes was my choice for a long time until the last few updates. Also, there is no video when trying to use full screen mode. Works fine in the preview mode only. I have uninstalled both iTunes and Quicktime and rebooted. I am about ready to give up and move to URGE. I fell as though I am wasting money anymore.

For future reference, here is the link to the Toshiba support page for your computer. This is where you go to get driver updates for your hardware. But you're right that there are no video or audio driver updates for your machine.
According to the website, you have a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 video controller, but it didn't say what your audio hardware was. If you go to the audio control panel (Windows Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panels), what does it say is the first "Volume" tab at the top of the Panel. That should be the current audio device. For example, mine says "SoundMax Digital Audio" What does yours say? The detailed specifications on the Toshiba page only tells me the family of the audio controller — Intel High Definition Audio — not the device manufacturer.

Blank space above address bar in full screen mode on Mac

Hi.
Blank space appears above address bar in full screen mode when I bookmark specific web page for the first time after FF start. Only way to hide this space is View->Toolbars->Customize->Done. But it appears each time after FF restarts. Disabling all addons does not help. This problem disappears only in FF safe mode.
Thanks,
Roman

Hi romansobko, try to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption#w_browsing disable hardware acceleration] and check it again(in safe mode hardware acceleration is disable).

When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Monitor is blank white when trying to view full screen youtube video.

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/783757''
I have an HP w2207h widescreen flat-panel Monitor. When I try to view videos ONLINE, such as YouTube, in full screen mode, the screen goes to a blank white screen. Audio works, no picture. However, when I view the same YouTube video in Internet Explorer everything works fine. Is there a setting I need to put in to fix this? Would appreciate your help!

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

In View menu, clicked Full Screen, got full blank screen. How get out of Full Screen?

I experimented with clicking Full Screen, and got a full completely blank screen with no place to click any command to get back to normal. I feel lucky that clicking various keys at the top of the keyboard and closing the laptop restored normality, but there has to be a better way.

Do you get the Navigation toolbar if you hover the mouse to the top?
The Navigation toolbar should have an item in the right -click context menu to exit Full Screen Mode.

Could Widget Composition Blank be full screen?

Hello,
I'd like to use a full screen slide show on my homepage, and also put a tooltip to show some information on the photo. So I use a composition blank so that I can put tooltip into it. But I just have no idea how to drag the image to full screen.....Is there any way to do that?

At present only the Slideshow widget supports a full screen mode. It would be non-trivial to create a full screen Composition widget given a Composition widget can contain almost anything and some things can be scaled while others cannot, but I understand what you'd like to achieve.

Full screen view is blank

When I try to view Images in full screen view, they show up blank. They use to work just last week. I can see them pop up as I scroll from image to image, and the thumbnail shows up as I zoom into the image, but the full size image is blank. Any thoughts? (I have everything updated).
Thank you!

What version of iPhoto are you running? If it's iPhoto 11 then try the following: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Odd... went to get cuppa coffee, came back my monitor was BRIGHT orange, full screen,, with slight vertical rib pattern, kind of like corrugated cardboard... very slight pattern... what gives.... oh, everything was frozen, no cursor no keyboard, zip. Used back off button. Turned it back on, everything normal...
Had lots of sudden closures like this lately... but usually gray, black, deep blue screen... a couple with the same vertical corrugation pattern only in two shades of pale gold, or grays... what good times we have with apple... never know what'going to be looking back at you next. But BRIGHT ORANGE? Help???

Sounds like the graphics card. Run the Hardware Test in extended. Not a great diagnostic, but should pick up something really blatant like this.

When watching news movies, I go to full screen, and screen goes blank.

The small video image which shows the news has a button to make the image full screen. When I press that, the whole screen goes blank.
When I use Internet Explorer, it works OK. I think It was also OK when I used the previous version of Firebird.

All of sudden my iphone 4s any picture I take outside I cannot forward via email or text and I can only see it, in the camera roll. When I try to open the picture full screen it is blank. Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your camera roll again.

After iOS7 upgrade, iTunes only gives blank screens. And Netflix won't load. Any idea on what to do?

Yep. I did some more poking around and found that one. Downloaded it and tried to run it and got more errors. Did some more searching and found a fix for the installer on Vista. Ran the fix and tried the ipod software again. It got further, but then hung up again. I'm still trying to figure this all out. Anyone got any answers it'd be much appreciated.
