I recently installed a 2nd monitor on my PC. Monitor #1 is the 'main'
monitor, while #2 is the 'extended' monitor.
Win-Xp Pro a Nvidia FX5700 video card., 1 DVI input and 1 analog input.
Monitor #1 is Analog, #2 is the digital one (DVI)
Everything seems to be working ok, dragging from one to the other, etc. I
am however having a problem with the
Windows Media Player. When I open the player on monitor #1, be it full
screen or smaller it also plays on monitor #2. On
monitor #2 it's all black with the video playing in the center. I can drag
the media player to monitor #2 and the image on #2 moves to
monitor #1, but full screen. At this point I am in trouble as I can not
move it back and have to reboot the machine as I can't get the start button
to show on the screen under the image. I have seen other multiple monitor
setups that work perfectly with the media player, but mine isn't being
perfect. I have
checked the player for options, but can not find any that might fix this.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
