Dual monitor display and video

[Heidi Dalle Ave]

When using an external monitor and PowerPoint2002 the
external monitor wants to display video as full screen
rather than leaving the video in the slide. The laptop
screen runs normally while the external monitor displays
the video full screen out of the slide. I have contacted
Dell software support and they have been no help.

Hi,

It is not something I use often, but in the absence of other advice.....

You could try:

Making sure you have the latest video drivers,

Try changing the way your screen is forced out. For a Dell, Function + F5 a
few times. You may have to try it on the external monitor only to see if
that helps.

Under the slideshow setup options, see if you can tweak the Multiple
Monitors setup to fix it. That last option is something I have never seen,
so I am keen for someone to demonstrate it at pptlive, please ;-)

Please also see the answer that Sonia offered to your question about white
screens. Problem may be related.

Try making your external monitor the "primary" monitor.
Video in PowerPoint is often a crapshoot at best, but
this has fixed the problem for me in the past.

Adam's solution is what worked for me.
I had the same problem a few weeks ago and solved it by going to the Display
Properties/Settings/Advanced/
GeForce4 440 Go (the nVIDIA driver settings). In that control window there
are settings for what they call Overlay Controls.
That is where I adjusted the video settings (which had been set to default
to full screen, not what I wanted, either). You should have the ability to
adjust it also.

Hope this helps
