Currently got a 2nd Monitor linked to my laptop and looking for some guidance on an issue i'm having, essentially when i'm running a full screen session (mainly BBC Iplayer or BBC video player to watch the golf tonight) and then click back onto the lappy screen to carry on browsing, working etc the 'full screen' minimises back to the smaller window :(

Is this something i've not configured correctly as I want it to be full sized to watch properly??

Also i'm shortly going to have a 3rd Monitor (lappy, monitor1 & Monitor2) setup as i'm tending to work from a lot more, what do I need to allow for 2 monitors to be connected to my lappy??

have you got it set up properly in control panel?

does your graphics card come with its own control panel to control it?

A USB Hub for your monitors should do the trick, pop onto youtube there's a number of videos on there that show you how-to.

I believe so, i can do all the usual dragging of screens to postion them etc.

There is an 'intel graphics GMA driver panel' in the control panel to control these sort of settings also but nothing that springs out to me, all works fine with everything else i drag to the 2nd monitor

Could it be an iplayer issue.

Have you tried using the pop out iplayer.
