Question : Problem: Full screen mode on 2nd display

Using both WinXP and Vista, when I expand a movie player to full-screen in my 2nd display (lately I tried Youtube) it will not stay full screen once i click back onto the primary desktop.

My config:

Apple Cinema 30" on primary
Dell 24" on secondary
Nvidia Gefoce 8900GTX
Vista at home, XP at work, but similar hardware

I seem to recall trying this on my Linux box too and not even getting the motion video on the 2nd display (the desktop is there, but just not the video content)

Answer : Problem: Full screen mode on 2nd display

This is a limitation of the flash player, so there isn't much you can do about it. You could lower the resolution on the 2nd monitor so the video is bigger, but that's not much of a workaround.
