I have dual screens and I also have flash 11 installed on my computer and I'm trying to watch a video in full-screen on monitor 1 while working on something else on monitor 2 without the video automatically switching back to regular size due to me clicking or typing something in the second monitor. I found some patches on line that would allow me to make the necessary changes to the flash player thus enabling me to switch the video back to regular size when I please but those patches are for earlier versions of the flash player and not the latest. How or where can I go online to fix this problem?

i use dual screens and i generally have no problem having full screen video in on screen while typing on the other screen, there are a few sires that mormalize the video from full screen when i type on the other but not many, all the sites i use will allow full screen on one screen while i type on the other, i use windows 7

Following is from "Whitson Gordon": Flash videos, like those on Hulu or YouTube, don't stay full screen if you click outside the video—say, if you're doing work on a second monitor. Kind of annoying, right? A quick system file swap, however, fixes this problem easily.

Many dual monitor enthusiasts love to watch movies or television shows on their second monitor, but if those are web-based videos, Flash has to rain on our parade. Sure you can make the Hulu video go full screen on your second monitor, but as soon as you try to work on your other monitor, Flash will lose its full-screen view. Thankfully, blogger/browser patcher d.i.z. has made a one byte change to the Flash plug-in that will keep videos running full screen, even if you click outside them—and he's made it available for download (sadly, this tweak only works on Windows machines).



All you need to do is grab d.i.z.'s modified npswf32.dll file and replace the one located in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\ or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\ folder on Windows 7 64-bit (though we recommend you backup the original file just in case). After a restart of your browser, all your Flash videos should exhibit the new behavior (i.e., you should be able to multi-task without losing full-screen playback). You can still exit full screen mode by hitting the escape key or using the Flash player's full screen button, of course.

merely merely be sure you enable the two the cardboard and onboard photographs in the bios then merely setting up the needed drivers for each, then connect the video demonstrate gadgets on the same time. purely one might desire to artwork in the previous each and every thing yet then pass to the workstation>>residences>>settings...there might desire to be an option to apply the two video demonstrate gadgets and all this different stuff...
