Not sure what DriverMax found, the one on Intel's site is:

Thanks Rabbit01 All my drivers are now up to date. Still didn't fix my Netflix problem. Though I imagine it fixed a lot of problems I didn't even know I had.

Was hoping driver update would fix it. Who knows, maybe it'll fix itself. Sometimes that happens.

Hi, if you have a fairly unmodified Lenovo k-300, by that I mean the hardware is as it was built by them, your best bet is to go to;
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/
and let the site 'auto-detect' your system.
Two advantages here, they are likely to have any new or improved drivers, and,
They will be free to download. (unlike some sites where they will want to charge you.)

Yea. I was disappointed. I'd like to uninstall and reinstall it. I've had that work on other things. But I can't find it in any of my 3 uninstall choices, and it's not in Programs, or Programs (86) files. I don't know where else to look. Going to try Mike1959's suggestion.

Thanks for the link. I went to the Lenovo site. Talk about a stranger in a strange land I did find some things that needed updating. Don't completely know what they are. But, it's a Lenovo site, they were for the K300, and this machine is a Lenovo So I went for it.
Going to try out Netflix now. I'll let you know.Put on a desktop icon, in case I have to go back to the site

Well I tried Netflix after going to the Lenovo site. Didn't fix the problem. Guess I'll go back in tomorrow, and see if I can find something else to try. Just wish I knew what I was looking for.

You're talking about the Netflix movie player that you want to uninstall/reinstall? Could it be a browser plugin? Some web site requires you install their own movie player. I haven't streamed Netflix movie in a long time, I don't recall if anything was installed back then.

When a movie is streaming,up above in the www. window it shows movies.netflix.com/wiPlayer. So I guess wiPlayer is what Netflix uses.It's not one that I installed myself. I have Winamp, windows media player, and Real Player. I also have Youtube and Miro. But they are more than just players.

Hi all, Just had a look at Wikipedia + Netflix, the only special software mentioned to use Netflix, is MS Silverlight, so that would need to be installed of course, and was updated a few weeks ago in MS Windows updates. (10 May, 2012 & 13 May, 2012)
http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/default.aspx
* Note that Silverlight needs the .net framework also, but not sure if that means .net 4 or the earlier versions. All are free and are also downloaded as part of the MS updates.

I have Silverlight, and it is updated. Thanks.

I went back to the Lenovo site To check to see if everything I found Yesterday installed correctly. Found Conexant Modem Driver installation failed. Could not find the device device for the driver. Does anyone know if that could be the cause of my Netflix problem? Thanks

Hi,
If you can connect to the net and stream video off of Youtube or similar sites, then there's nothing wrong with your setup.
If you go into Device manager, and you have a Conexant modem in the list, right-click on it and 'update driver'.
That should either update it, or not, if it's up to date.

Thank you I'll try that in just a minute. First I need to tell you all what a dummy I am. I've been saying that this is a Netflix only problem. Because it didn't matter if I was streaming or playing a Netflix DVD.Wrong. Streaming plays in wiPlayer, the one Netflix provides. But a DVD plays in real player WMP, or Winamp, depending on which one I choose. I played a DVD in WMP last night and had the same, won't stay full screen problem as I had with Netflix Streaming. Sorry for not paying better attention...

Okay Mike. I went to the Device Mgr.to see if Conexant was there. Didn't see it. Thought maybe it was under a different name. So I right clicked, one at a time everything in Device Mgr. Got this message for everything. " Your device is ready to use." Next I typed Conexant in the start search window.Got this above the window ID4MDM01WW5 clicked on it and got. " The following file is already on your computer" c:\Drivers.\Conexant.Modem.Drivers.\difxapi.dll. So I guess it couldn't install because it was already installed, and I could not find the device for the driver, because it was already being used. I also guess that it has nothing to do with my "Full Screen" problem. Anything else I can try. now that you all know it's not just a Netflix problem? Or had you all already figured that out, before I even said anything. Thank you,once again.

Since you're on a roll w/ updating various items, have a look at this.

Got DirectX downloaded and installed. Thanks. I also had to download and install Bing Bar. Because it came along with DirectX., so I wasn't given a choice. I really hate that. There aught to be a law against piggy back downloads. ( okay rant's over) Didn't download any of the other things that were offered. Don't use Internet Explorer. Besides I already have 9. The other things I worried that they might clash with the Antivirus, and anti- Malware I already have. If you can assure me that they wont I will download and install them. I feel the more protection you have the better.

I ran the DirectX update on my Win7 machine a while back, I don't recall if the Bing Bar was included or not. I know it wasn't installed, so maybe I unchecked that option. Anyway, it's just a toolbar for IE right? You should be able to disable it via Manage Add-ons in IE.

Not sure what other things were offered. Probably not all that important. I always choose not to install the extra search bars or virus scanner that are bundled. I'm happy w/ what I've got.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see an option to check or uncheck. I've seen no choice situations in the past also. You're right about Bing Bar. It is just a toolbar, or maybe a search window for IE.Which I can get rid of real easy. I just don't like to have things shoved down my throat. I'm happy with what I have also. But I am willing to add things if I know they will give me more protection than what I already have. So I guess I'm just out of luck, as far as my "full screen." problem is concerned. Thanks very much for trying so hard to help me fix it

The Thank You I just gave to Rabbit is for the rest of you too. Thanks.
