Video On Multiple Monitors

[AOD]

So I have to monitors hooked up to my PC, I want to play a video on one while doing other things on the other monitor but when i play a video on one monitor it goes full screen on the other :S Anyone know how to change this? (I got it working once with winamp but when i rebooted it didn't work so i dunno :S)

Right, is there two seperate vid. cards or is it just one video card that has two outputs?

 

[AOD]

One card, 2 outputs.

Right, I used to have one and I couldnt change it. Look in the game settings and see what you can do there. When in the game, minimize it, open what you want on the screen you want and try that. You can definetly just have one screen doing one thing while the other does something else. I got 2 seperate video cards, comes in handy. So effictively, I can have one game on one and one game on the other. But i aint tried it lol.

Lol, have to have pretty nice other specs to do that me thinks

you may have tried this already, but if your running windows XP extend my windows desktop onto this monitor, then open your vidoe and drag it to the other screen. then try your game.
