Slimjet finally fixed the Youtube full screen problem...and now the latest update makes it unusable! It flashes on for a split second and then vanishes. I've already tried re-downloading it several times and also deleting the old version first. It worked briefly last night but now it's back to flashing on for a split second (I'm using a different browser to type this).

I just tried downloading it (v 39.0.1.0 64 bit) yet again. Same. How can i download the previous version that worked?

I also updated to Version 39.0.1.0 64-bit.
The movie at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTH9cePj91w worked fine in full screen mode for me.

My favorite version

The best!

Slimjet 39.0.3 - still the same problem - download - open - flashes instantaneously and then disappears. Tried downloading both thru Slimjet and manually. Same thing. Back to Slimjet 38.0.9!

I have Windows 10 but I have it set up to look like Win 7. Slimjet 38 is the last version to support Win 7. Could that be the problem?

I reported my problem here:

https://www.slimjet.com/en/onlinefb.htm

I'm the only one with this problem, huh? What about the OP? Where did he go? I'm stuck on v. 38.0.9.0 - and since I'm having so much trouble with Slimjet these days i have relegated it to single use - downloading Youtubes...and now that just stopped working!

Later:

And now, the latest development - I can't even open up 38.0.9 anymore! It's doing the same thing that v39 does. Instantly vanishes. I can't find any anti-virus that might be blocking it. The more I mess with it the worse it gets!

Slimjet was my favorite for years...

I did it! I fixed it - at least for now - and it is the latest Slimjet v. 39.0.5.0!

What I did was download it with the MS Edge browser - which I never use. My main browser is Vivaldi and that is the one I have been downloading it with - over and over - and it downloads OK on Vivaldi but then Slimjet disappears as soon as it comes to opening it. Why? I don't know. But at least for now I have the latest Slimjet!

Well, I had Slimjet 39.0.5, and then, as i mentioned under the Bug Reports thread about "video downloader" problems, I switched to Beta 40, and i had that for a few days, and then it just disappeared from my computer, same as it was doing before, flashes and disappears. I tried downloading it a couple of times - the stable 39 version - using MS Edge to download it because that worked before, whereas downloading via my main browser, Vivaldi, didn't, but now MS Edge doesn't work either: download-flashes-disappears. So no Slimjet at all now.

Are you saying the downloaded file disappears. Or the installed program runs and then shuts down?
