ATI Radeon 4870's fullscreen video output is only 1024x768 resolution?

That was only a suggestion to try to see if the same issue develops. It wasn't meant as a permanent solution.

Also, can you set the TV as the Main/Primary and the monitor as the Secondary? I would think if you do this, and start the Video on the Primary screen, you can then use the Secondary screen for your Desktop use while watching the videos.

Yeah, I can try that. However, HDTV looks blurry due to the very long VGA cable connection since it is far away from my desktop.

It does? Where?

options/player/fullscreen tab

fullscreen monitor drop down box

also u can set the audio to auto switch from pc to hdmi/toslink audio if that is desired too.

Weird. I don't see that in mine: http://i.imgbox.com/Tv82GXf8.gif ...

I am still using old school analog audio speakers and cables from my onboard audio.

Ah, no wonder I didn't see it. I even checked on my work's MPC-HC installation. It wasn't there as well.

Anyways, wow... I never noticed that fullscreen section before. Wait, when was that added if it is new? I have been using MPC-HC for many years. LOL.

Clone display setup shows gr(a/e)yed out option for "Fullscreen monitor".

Extended horizontal display setup shows it not gr(e/a)yed out. So, I tried it. It works PERFECTLY to start playing. However, if I wanted to access MPC-HC player, I need to go to the HDTV. I can't do it on my primary monitor? :/

Yeah, at this point you may have to live with a couple of quirks. It's a lot harder since you are sticking with one older driver...

What did the newer driver change for MPC-HC?

Won't know until you try newer ones...are you now saying all of your issues are MPC-HC related?

OK. No. I saw them in VLC, WMP, etc.

is not perfect antdude but should be an adequate fix

Yea. I just noticed even in single display mode, MPC-HC would still go fullscreen. Too bad I can't do that to happen ONLY in dual display setup. Oh well.
