Monitor won't enter power save after playing You Tube videos...

Hi
An issue has  developed on my system in the last couple of months for which, after having done  a lot of research and testing, a solution has not been found. After playing  a video in You Tube, my monitor won't go into power save mode after the  prescribed time. It tries to go off for a second and the screen goes blank but  then comes straight on again. This happens after playing the You Tube videos in  Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I am running Windows XP  Professional and I have the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer installed,  the latest graphics card drivers, the latest version of direct x 9.0c.
To clear this error, I have to go into my XP  power schemes settings and change it to another power scheme and then change it  back to my default power scheme. However, as soon as I play another you tube  video the same problem re-occurs.
I have tried turning off hardware acceleration but this makes no difference. My graphics card is a Gigabyte gv-nx86t512h: http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2604#ov
This never used to happen  until recently. It seems that there is something with the Flashplayer that is  not compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc.
Any ideas as to what may be  causing this and what can be done to overcome it would be greatly appreciated as  it is a real nuisance.
Many  thanks.

thanks for your suggestions.
i found the solution/workaround from somone else on the adobe forums:
Go to control  panel, display, screen saver, choose a random screen saver, set a long time  (i.e. 60 min, but always longer than your monitor shut off time), then select no  screen saver, and save! Simple as that…

  • My monitor won't enter power save when connected to my mac mini via HDMI

    I have a mac mini connected to my Samsung monitor and when the computer goes to sleep, the monitor just sits there with "no signal" on the screen.  Usually it would go to sleep at this point, but in this case it doesn't.

  • Trouble playing You Tube video on iPad 2 - stops/starts - can't get through a single video. HELP.

    I have the iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G but it's not currently on my Verizon plan - only connects via home wireless internet.  I'm confused as to why I've never been able to successfully play/view any kind of video via the internet?  The video loads and begins to play...but about 10 seconds in...it hangs up and then I have to play a cat and mouse game of pause/play to get it to 'load' a little bit more...and finally about 60 seconds worth I throw in the towel and head for the iPhone or my Mac.  So what gives?  My iPad does so much...even plays videos I TAKE.  Why won't it play You Tube videos???!!!  Is that Icon on my Home Screen just to taunt me and store the videos I'll never be able to view more than 10 seconds??? 
    Please help guide me to the simple fix.

    Try viewing youtube from the browser and going to youtube.com rather than using the YouTube app.
    Also, try at different times of day and report back. Where I am, by 7pm the cable modem slows down considerably with all the Netflix viewing. I swear Comcast is throttling bandwidth for video streaming!

        Check  whether you are currently  in  YouTube HTML 5 trial?

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • No sound when playing you tube videos

    recently the sound stopped playing with the you tube videos.
    The sound for other stuff works find, ads from a newspaper, itunes, web sites, just you tube.
    Any advice as to where to look in you tube or a plug in that you tube requires in order to play the audio.
    Again the video plays fine.
    Thanks
    Greg

    You can look through this for a couple of other suggestions.
    iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
    The article will talk about closing the app, deleting the app and reinstalling it and resetting/rebooting the iPad like I suggested. Sometimes another app could be causing a conflict, so you might want to try closing all apps and restart the iPad. Closing apps is covered in the article.
    One other thing that you could try is Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.

  • My 9300 does not play you tube videos

    Hi, my 9300's browser not let me watch you tube videos, a message that says I have to download flash player addobe and have not found on the web where to download it. Is there another way to play them?

    Close all apps and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Cannot play you tube videos on macbook air why?

    cannot play you tbe videos on mac book air why?

    Make sure you have the most up to date version of Flash installed.  Safari doesnt come with Flash installed when new, as Apple wants you to download the most up to date version of it from Adobe.

  • Recently my computer has been struggling or erratic at best playing "you tube" videos.  About a month ago I deleted a number of caches and cookies.  I don't know where the problem is.

    Why is my computer is struggling to play "you tube" videos

    Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
              PHY Mode
              Channel
              Security
              Signal/Noise or RSSI
              Transmit Rate
    Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
    Now hold down the option key again and select
               ▹ System Information... ▹ Network ▹ Wi-Fi
    Compare the two-letter Country Code with the ISO code for your country. Does it match? The code X0 means that the country couldn't be determined. The code X3 means South America, not otherwise specified.

  • Safari won't play You Tube videos properly

    No doubt this is likely related to the ongoing problems I've been having with Safari running Flash as covered in depth in this previous thread -
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1790656&tstart=0
    Klaus was very helpful in that thread and things got incrementally better - but not solved...it's still very slow compared to any other browser. So rather than re-hash everything that's already been done, I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem? The YT videos will load and play but they are all jerky and sputtering. Other browsers (Firefox etc.) all can play the same videos smoothly with no issues.
    I don't have redundant Flash players in my HD Library Plug-Ins folder and User Library Plug-Ins - but I do have something called "UnityPlayer.plugin" in my User's that I'm not sure what it is...

    Here is unity Player plugin.http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/unitybrowserplugin.html
    Not sure if this anything to do with your problem
