Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Media Player with Dual Monitor in XP

I have the exact OPPOSITE problem as alot of people here. Here's what I have:

Dual 1900+ Tyan Tiger Mainboard
Video Card 1 - Visiontek Geforce 4 Ti 4600
Video Card 2, PCI - Matrox Millennium II
3 21" Sony Trintrons.

When I play a video with media player on ether of the two GF4 (connected) monitor, The video automatically goes to full screen on the other 'non-active' monitor.

Is there any way to turn this feature off? Not permenently, just until I actually WANT to play it full screen.

For example: Monitor 1/2/3
Monitor 1 - GF4 Analog, Primary Display
Monitor 2 - GF4 DVI
Monitor 3 - Maxtrox (Hey, it's the only PCI card I have laying around)

If I put media player on Monitor 1, It becomes full screen on Monitor 2. I can still do all the work and windows and such on Monitor 1 and 3.

If I move the media player window to Monitor 2 (remember, it's just a window), My monitor 1 becomes full screen media player. Again, 3 remains untouched, as I can type, and do work on those other 2 monitors.

If I move media window to monitor 3, it STAYS as a window, so I can work on all 3 monitors! How come Monitor 1 and 2 does that? This is on the GF4 Card.
