Fullscreen problems

[blcookin]

I have a couple issues with fullscreen, and a playback issue. Thanks in advance to all who reply.

If I toggle to fullscreen mode on my monitor (using Alt-Enter) from maximized window mode, my windows task bar stays on the screen, but If I toggle to fullscreen mode from a standard window, the task bar goes away. Any ideas?

If I try to toggle to fullscreen mode when the application is on my secondary display (LCD TV) it moves back over to my monitor. I can maximize the window on the TV but then the title bar is left on the window and I'm afraid that leaving it up for a long time like that could cause screen burn-in. How do I get fullscreen mode to stay on the TV?

Lastly, when playing back a recording on the TV, the video starts to hang up and causes skipping. The same video played back on the monitor works fine. I can also play back the same recording on my TV using VLC Media Player with no problem. Any ideas why that would happen? Video card is a EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16, if that matters at all.

Do you have the app set to start on the second monitor in the config app, or have you dragged it from one monitor to the other?

I dragged the window over to the second display and closed it. When I restarted it, it automatically starts on the second display in windowed mode. If I try to toggle to fullscreen, it comes back to the primary display, even though it started on the second display.

Nevermind, I see what you're talking about. I unchecked the box to start in windowed mode and selected the secondary display in the config and now it starts fullscreen on the TV.

Looks like the playback problem was related to the video renderer. When I changed it from VMR9 Custom to VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive it doesn't hang up anymore. I'm good to go now. Thanks for the help Sub.
