Full screen issues.

Post by jerrycic »

I have Platnum.
I have Vista
I have winamp
I have Windows media player
I have stand alone.

I want this:
I want to play G-force in full screen mode on my second monitor connected via s-video. (extension of my desktop)
I want to controll it from my first main monitor.
I just want to controll what it is playing or even via th g-force tool bar.
In winamp, as soon as i click away and into the tool bar or the win amp player, The full screen dissapears and becomes minimized. The same holds true if i am using the stand alone.

So I want to start ,stop, load a file, and play it . all without leaving full screen mode. I also would like to play with the g-force toolbar while in full screen mode and not have it exit full screen mode when i click it.

Does Anyone know how to do this?

Thank You!
Jerry C

I believe there are a couple issues with full screen, I have seen the same behavior with my tv but my video card melted down so right now I have no way of checking this out on a second monitor.

as soon as I get my dual screen running again I will let you know if this issue has been resolved in the latest GF.


ps. i just got a new video card so it will be sooner than it seems

I can do what you're trying to do by using J River Media Center. And I do it all the time using a 720p projector as the second monitor. (10ft screen on my living room wall!). JRMC is not free but it handles a multi monitor Windows setup better than anything else I've tried. They do have a free full featured trial version so you can easily see if it works for you.

try using the standalone and set the audio input device to what you hear or wav and you should be able to control GF from your primary monitor while GF runs on secondary
