Fullscreen not possible on streaming videos

Hi, I have exactly the same problem as you. I have in common with your setup the OS and my video card is from the same series (3850 HD). For now, I don't know more than you, but I'll keep you posted if I find any information on this.

I think I can say that Vista is crap ^^

For owners of ATI HD58xx series (personally using ATI HD5830 with the latest Catalyst 10.8 drivers + ATI Catalyst Control Center, Windows 7, and multiple drives in RAID0, memtests OK), I have a solution that worked for me:

The bug was that when I played a video in streaming, fullscreen or not, after a while (a few seconds or minutes) it crashed: blue screen, memory dump didn't even finish (auto-reboot option disabled) the PC rebooted before the end of the dump + and reboot impossible, system stuck on "loading operating system ..." (thus formatting every time)

I did several tests, it's the Catalyst Control Center (CCC) that does "a bit too much": you need to go into the video options of the CCC, and enable the option "apply current video settings to internet videos". Since then, no reboots during streaming videos, I really "stressed it" on several video sites, changing videos in the middle of a playback, skipping through the video multiple times, etc.
Good luck with your bug resolutions!

s'il vous plaît, un peu d'aide

it might be the graphics card that's causing this, especially since the official ati website doesn't offer drivers for 3850 HD...

I came across this page the other day https://ph.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080228001757AAzjpj1
and I tested it in 16 bits to see, and indeed the full screen streaming is working again; after that, who knows why....

Thank you very much for posting the solution ;)
