Default Dual monitor problem

Hello,

I run 2 monitors off a graphics card - nowt too special - but I generally use the second monitor for music vids and the like.

I've noticed with some videos they wont work on the second monitor, just freezes as soon as u start play. I have to drag WMP over to the primary monitor, close it then reopen to view in that monitor. They second i drag it to monitor 2 it freezes.

I've tried other players but none of them seem to want to default to monitor 2, so a pain in the *** really.

To the best of my knowlege this has happened since i used the "XP Codec Pack", but I've tried all sorts to rectify..

Has anyone come across this and solved it?

Try Ultramon m8, I'm not saying it will help but it's a nice bit of software and worth a try
