I have dual monitors on my vista home premium laptop. Not sure the specs are really important as i have seen others ask this same question but none have been answered. The problem is when I am watching a youtube video on one screen in fullscreen mode, it will automatically revert from fullscreen as soon as I click anywere on the other monitor. I am not sure how to fix this, doesnt seem to matter which screen you run the video on the same thing happens.

I know this was not a problem until youtube made some player upgrade. Someone suggested some kind of external flash player that would allow you to drag youtube videos onto it...I am not sure if this is necessary (I hope not) and I am not even sure what program I would use if I needed to do that. I just know I need to play online poker on one screen and I can't have the youtube minimizing every time I make a decision on the other screen.

Fullscreen from other sites does not always minimize. Movies on joox work just fine without doing it, google videos work fine without doing it, it seems to be just select video sites like youtube. Someone please chime in and let me know what can be done. Much appreciated!
