If you want to disable full screen video overlay then do the following:

1. right click your windows desktop
2. choose "Properties" from the right click menu that appears
3. choose "Settings" tab then press "Advanced" button
4. Now find the tab that mentions your GeForceFX card by name and click it
5. now if you look in the menu off the side panel to the left (for nVidia
Geforce drivers anyway at least) you should see one part that says "Full
Screen Video"
6. Click that one and you should see somewhere on that section (near the
bottom left I think) "Full Screen Device"
7. Just set that to "Disable" and it should keep all your video windows in
the programs on the primary monitor instead of opening them on another
monitor instead

To change it back later if needed then just repeat the above but choose
whichever display you want instead of Disable

Hope this helps?

om...
I have a GeForce FX Go5200 with 64mb in a Dell 5150 laptop. I've set
up DualView.

When I run video in Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, or Adobe
Premiere, one of the displays goes to full screen video. This is
usually the secondary display but in Premiere, it is sometimes the
primary display.

Is there any way to shut this off? I want to keep my desktop or
program layout the way it is with the video running just in the window
in the program.

thanks,

dave
