Duel Monitors

Need a little help.

I'd like to play WOW on one screen and watch iplayer full screen on the other.

However if i click anywhere iplayer shrinks back down - any way to stop this?

Cheers

Maybe because they are in a "duel"

Is it possible to play WoW in "windowed mode"? you should be able to watch iplayer on the other monitor within the browser window.

However, as far as I know fullscreen iplayer is only available when that is the active window, if you click away from it to anything else it will reduce it from full-screen video to just in the video player window on the iplayer page. I'm not sure it is possible to run it full screen and use another window at the same time, though I would be happy to be corrected if someone knows of a way.

Proof you're not enjoying playing WoW

But....
I'd also be interested if there was a way / program to have something (eg game, video) fullscreen on one monitor and have other things on the other screen you can click on and use (eg messenger) without it closing the fullscreen application.

Sorry, should have said "borderless window mode" should look like fullscreen, but have the ability to do normal windows things on the other screen without needing to Alt+tab out of the game.

Yeah, this and F11 is the best way of doing it that I've found. There doesn't appear to be a way to force a native Flash fullscreen window to stay open when it loses focus

Unfortunatly that is a problem to do with how adobe implements their full screen "method" for flash. I've noticed with any flash app. Sucks pretty bad, is a shame, i have wanted to watch iplayer while doing work before, is a shame but isnt too bad when not at full size.
