Werid Playback on Dual Monitor System

cykx · 04-24-2005, 01:18 AM

Im using dual monitors on my laptop, It used to work fine. I reinstalled Windows and now when ever I play a video in WMP, It shows full screen on screen 2, plus WMP on screen one. If I move WMP to screen2, they swith, Full Screen on 1, WMP on 2. I kinda need it to work like before because Im doing level editing and I have ADD, so its kinda hard to concentrate on 1 thing at a time. Its so weird because everything is default. Any ideas ? As for the dual monitors, I connected a CRT onto my laptop, worked fine a while back. Thanks.

Hey, this is my favorite feature! Hehe, being able to play a video full screen without actually making it full screen on you're primary monitor ;P

I will assum you have ATI because my nvidia doesn't work like that... Check you're settings and look for "Theater Mode" I beleive it's in overlay. If you disable this, you should be fine.
