Video playing takes up second monitor

[BronzeG3]

I'm using an Inspiron 8500 with an nVidia GeForce4 4200. I have a second monitor attached and am using spanning. Problem is whenever I play a video, the second monitor always plays the movie full screen in addition to the window playing it. While good at times, any windows opened on the second monitor get hidden. Is there any option anywhere that I can turn this off? I have tried playing videos with WMP, video lan client, and real media, and they all do the same thing. All help is appreciated. thanks.

This is a feature that is enabled by default when using the GeForce 4200. To disable it, you must go into the adapter configuration:

(1) Right click on the Windows desktop and select "Properties."

(2) Click the "Settings" tab and then click "Advanced." The NVIDIA GeForce4 4200 Go dialog will popup.

(3) Click the "GeForce 4200 Go" tab. If it is not already, click the green line to the left of the dialog box to expand the menu.

(4) Select "Overlay Controls." At the top of the dialog, there will be a box for "Full Screen Video Mirroring Controls."

(5) Change the "Full Screen Device" drop-down from "Auto-Select" to "Disable."

(6) Click "OK" to apply your changes.
