    Red face Fullscreen snaps off for no reason when watching video

    When watching video,whether it be on a web page or in Movie Player in fullscreen mode,for no apparent reason it consistently pops out of fullscreen and I have to reactivate it.
    This occurs with any video format and every movie/video player I use and file type.
    Thanks in advance.

    I run into this occasionally with flash videos, but not with regular players. I know that the screen saver or power management settings can sometimes kick you out of fullscreen. Since you usually start moving the mouse right after that you may not notice your computer was getting sleepy. Maybe check that?

    I have the same problem, I'm watching something fullscreen and screensaver kicks in every now and then. Isn't it supposed to not kick in when you are watching something?
