I'm sure that I have overlooked something obvious...
So my laptop monitor went bad, and I attached an external monitor to it (Dell Inspiron 1501). I designated this monitor as the Primary.
However, when I play a video on VLC or a few other players, the video goes to full screen, and I can't minimize the display. It's acting as a secondary monitor, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong!
Also, if it helps, the external monitor doesn't activate immediately upon start up.
Any suggestions?
