When you watch a divx movie (or DVD) fullscreen on one monitor with windows media player, does it also go fullscreen on the other?

I can stop this from happening if I turn overlays off, but I would rather have overlays on so the cpu doesnt have to work so hard to process the movie.

That has been a big problem for me. What I do is deactivate one monitor, watch my movie, then reactivate it. Not the most elegant of solutions but does get the job done.

I running Win2K with a Radeon7500 card.

Mine just stays on one screen. Don't know why or how. I might not be using full screen, but maybe the window is maximized.

I was able to watch movies fullscreen on the second monitor without problems up until I installed Windows media player 9.
