Second display full screen closes when working on primary display

crystak · Dec 14, 2010

Hi guys

So I'm watching Bloomberg on livestation.com in IE9 on my second display which is fine. However, I want to watch it in full screen which works BUT whenever I do a mouse click, type, etc. on my primary display, the full screen on the secondary display exits and goes back to the normal browser view.

I haven't got much hopes for this, but is there a way to prevent it from happening? i.e. get another browser or some setting I could change somewhere?

I know there's the standalone version for livestation but the latest beta won't work on my laptop at the moment.

Thanks for any input!

Hi

As IE9 is a beta, it may cause issues like this as its not a final release, for a production machine or one you need, its not best to run beta prodcuts, I would either unsinstall IE9 which adds IE8 back or run a different browser (Opera or Firefox) for watching Bloomberg.

One thing to try before changing browsers is to make sure your Graphic Card driver is upto date as IE9 uses the GPU to help render pages, so this is where going full screen may crash the browser as the driver may not be complient with IE9 yet (many makers dont issue drivers until the final release of products, nVidia are a pain for this and where so for many who tested beta's of Vista and Windows 7)
