Dang movies keep playing fullscreen, in Presentation View

[skypeeper]

I am running PP 2007, and I have created a number of slides with MPEG1
movies on them, they are set to play when I click on the movie. I am
showing on 2 monitors (laptop and projector). My view is the
Presentation View with Slide/Notes/Forward/Back and thumbnail slide
view. Projector sees just the slideshow.

I ran this before on an HP Pavillion notebook, and was able to click
on the embedded MPEG movie, and it would play at small size, in the
slide, on my end, and full size for the audience. Now the darn thing
wants to play full screen on my end. No changes were made to the
MPEGs, the PPTX or the slide handling. I am now using a Dell 5150.
Could this be the reason? I have the latest Nvidia drivers.

I've got to leave now, but I will check back when I get in from my
current presentation.

Thank you for directing me to those suggestions. I will go try them
now, as this behaviour was the same on my 2nd display (HDTV), as it
was on the digital projector.

Many, many thanks!
