Adobe Flash freezes on full screen

Have been having this problem recently wherein doing a full screen on a flash video freezes the screen. My wife watches movies online occasionally on MegaVideo/Veoh and the problem persists in both as both use flash internally.

While the Flash player is in normal mode, right click on the player and choose "Settings" from the context menu. Remove the checkmark in the box next to "Enable Hardware Acceleration".
