BBC iPlayer won't stay maximised on second screen

[Participant]

Hello all

Does anyone know how to make iPlayer remain maximised on a second monitor when switching back to your primary screen? I maximise the IE window, but as soon as I go back to the main screen the media player reverts to a normal IE window.

Thanks a lot.

No, never even heard of it. I'll look into it, thanks.

Something to do with flash itself I think, never managed to get it to work - same issue for Youtube and the likes for me.

I remember having a similar issue with my laptop (ages ago) put it onto a big tv and its ok, maxamise and it just goes black.

I'm sure i fixed that with a download for flash, I'll try have a look for it tomorrow if you have had no luck.

Doesn't help. It's a 'feature' of flash, I've never found a way around it

It work fine, there's a few threads on here about it too.

If you have x64 then the file is located here:
C:\windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
