dual screens

[BrainBox]

I connected up my pc to monitor and pc. But when i play videos (thats not on windows media) and click on the monitor which surfing the video minimizes. Is there a way to stop that.

eg. Watching justin.tv on one side and playing mir / surfing on the other side with the justin.tv staying full screen

Windows will always minimize a video when using the other dual screen, best way is to have the video play on the non windows screen (The one without the explorer window) and it should stay full screen, unless playing games then it's drop to normal view for your graphic card to handle performance on it's other role.

i've noticed some things u can watch full screen, some you can't. you could download and watch a film with media player on your 2nd monitor whilst playing mir.
but if you wanted to watch a film streaming, if you put it fullscreen on your 2nd monitor, if you click anywhere on 1st monitor it auto-minimizes it... pain in the arse and doubt it can be solved

Unfortuantly not, as it's the way windows supplies resource through your graphic card to handle requests. As for being able to play Mir while viewing a video, this is not viable at all. As your graphic card switches and anything that uses a lower end resource to the game you use, will be closed down.
