Youtube videos changing size constantly?

Whenever I watch videos on youtube (and youtube only; This doesn't happen with hulu, google video, etc), the video will shrink to about 1/4th the original size, and then quickly change back. It constantly switches between the right size and the small size, and it's really annoying. I managed to get a picture of what it shrinks to:

Any ideas on how I can fix this before I have a seizure? I've already tried reinstalling flash player.Youtube videos changing size constantly?
If videos are flickering, shaking or jumping back-and-forth

from big to small or from top-left to bottom-right, perhaps

something is wrong with your Flash player, particularly if

you've got one of the newer ones.



There's no need to have the latest Flash player, because

nothing about being able to watch YouTube has changed

in the last 2 years. (Technically speaking, you could still

use Flash 8 if you wanted to.)



In fact, the more recent Flash players are causing plenty

of grief for lots of YouTubers -- especially the 8 variations

of version 10. It's absolutely crazy that there should be a

10.0.525, 10.1.218, 10.2.26, 10.2.54, 10.12.10, 10.12.36,

10.15.3 and 10.22.87. Most updates are usually good for

only one thing: computer/software conflicts.



I have never strayed away from 9.47, and many ';flashers';

swear by 9.45. Think of those two Flashes like Windows

XP compared to Vista. Please take a look at the Asker's

feedback comments to this other ';Best Answer'; of mine,

(even though his YouTube issue isn't the same as yours):

If that looks interesting to you, here's the appropriate link:

Another thing you might want to consider is whether you

have some crappy utility such as GWA, SpeedBit, Jaton,

Trident, Diamond Fire, ATI or Easy Video Accelerator.



Of course nothing ';accelerates'; live streaming video files.

Even YouTube, Google and Macromedia understand this

and write that in their own FAQ's. Thus, if your computer

has any type of ';accelerator';, please dump it, burn it, rip

it, kick it, trash it, uninstall it -- do all that you can to get

as far away from it as possible.



Because you're not the first person this week to ask this

question, I recently did lots of Googling, researching and

reading about ';flickering/shaking'; videos -- and nearly all

the discussion forums I came across mentioned ';nVidia';

drivers. Do you maybe have one installed on your comp?
