long question short

i have an good old Dell Inspiron 4000 running
windows xp professional
with ATI Mobility M3 graphic card

on the secondary monitor (xp's dualview), when i playback video's like .avi's i get no video but sound, if when the mediaplayer is dragged to play in the primary display it will soon have the video on. it applies to all the other players like mediaplayer classic and so on... but .mov's and .rm's are fine.

i like to play video's in the secondary monitor, so if anyone have any clues about this please help, thanks.

Windows Media Player uses an "overlay". With my Geforce FX5200, I have a desktop by the way, there is an option to "View Full Screen on Secondary Monitor" or something to that effect. Have a look around the driver properties in Display properties. Are you using WinXP's drivers or the Catalyst driver?
