Video clips - Full Screen and Window
When I look at my Power Point presentations on my laptop, the video clips
show up in windows. When I have my projector attached, the laptop still shows it the same way, but the video switches to full screen, i.e. the laptop monitor and the projector DO NOT show the same information. I have no idea how to fix this. |

I have the same problem. I too have tried everything I know. It used to be
the image on my laptop screen was the same as the projected image thru the projector. Now the video plays as a small window as part of the powerpoint slide on the laptop but the projected video goes to full screen? Any ideas would be most helpful.

You'll have to toggle the laptop so that the file is projected only through
the projector. The full-screen thing happens when you play the file on both the laptop and the projector. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "MSPDRE1" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the input. I thought I already tried this but I will have to give
it another shot. Thanks again and I will let you know if it works. Is there any way for both the projected image thru the projector and the image on the laptop to be exactly the same without having the slide displayed on just one or the other?

I often use the extended desktop as a workaround for this. This is in the
Display Properties on the Settings tab. On most notebook systems you should have 2 displays represented. 1 is the notebook display and 2 is whatever is connected to the VGA port (monitor, projector). Click on display 2 and a dialog usually comes up asking if you want to activate that display. Select yes. If you don't get the dialog skip to next. In the lower left of the Settings tab check the box "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor." Click Ok and you now have one large desktop that uses both displays. You can move the cursor off of the notebook display onto the other display. In PowerPoint, go to Slide Show, Set Up Show, in the Multiple Monitors box drop down select Monitor 2. That will tell PowerPoint to send the Slide Show output to the 2nd monitor (projector). You will see the PowerPoint window on the notebook display and the slide show on the external display. Use any keyboard options to advance the slides. Clicking in the PowerPoint window while in Slide Show activates the PowerPoint window but maintains the Slide Show image. You can click on Resume Slide Show or click on the slide on monitor 2 to reactivate the Slide Show window. This is a great way to edit on the fly while you are in show by the way. Now, when you have a video that should play at any size smaller than a slide, it will jump to full screen on the notebook display but maintain the slide on the 2nd monitor. I hope I laid that out well enough for you to follow. A more solid solution that requires more hardware is to follow Echo's solution but add another monitor in addition to the projector. Use a VGA splitter to split the output from the laptop to the projector and to the monitor (or you can just loop out of the projector of it has an output and go to the monitor depending on how you have to set up). This way you don't have to use the first workaround at all. You will be using a solid signal and see exactly the same thing on both with nothing on the notebook display. Add a mouse and keyboard and you can just close the laptop and use it as if you have a desktop. That's not always practical but it makes for solid playback in this situation. ...............TD " wrote: When I look at my Power Point presentations on my laptop, the video clips show up in windows.
