    I have been trying to watch Netflix movies on my TV through a HDMI connection. Everything is great sound, picture, etc except if I want to watch the movie in full screen and still use the laptop for another process. Every time the mouse moves the movie ceases to be full screen.

    I am using Win 7 x64, Firefox connected to an Element 27in flat screen.

    Thanks in advance as always.

    Now I'm really annoyed. I have been watching MLB.TV which uses adobe flash to transmit the games and you can change the setting on the player that allows you to watch the game on the TV to dual monitor and use the laptop for anything you wish.

    So you're saying MLB.tv is working as you want, but netflix isn't? I occasionally run a dual monitor setup, and i've noticed that windows media player does the same thing, when in full screen on either monitor, as soon as I move the mouse it displays the play options. But when I'm using some karaoke software that has an option about using a 2nd display, it goes full screen without any problems. I guess it's something in netflix's player that just doesn't have that option yet, I don't think you are doing anything wrong.
