This did not help at all....I do not need to drag info from one monitor to
the other....I merely need to be able to view video on both monitors, not
just the laptop monitor.....thanks
The point of Byte's URLs is that video on a second monitor can be a
problematic. Not all programs and display drivers are capable of rendering
in that manner. Sometimes there are extra settings in Display Properties
(added by the display driver) that relate to video playback on the
secondary monitor. If your driver has these options, may want to learn more
about using them by checking the help file supplied by the display card
manufacturer.
Articles below show a few examples of the kind of problems one can run
into. There are probably similar articles for various players and display
cards that could be researched.

The other recommendation Byte made was for a well known multi-monitor
management program. Ultramon, available at the realtimesoft.com site, is
sometimes successful in circumventing limitations of players, drivers and
hardware. They offer a free trial on their program.
