Vista or XP?
Nothing was changed in this area but that doesn't mean that something didn't break. I don't use Videos nor do I have a secondary monitor set-up here at home, so can't test this right now.

XP all updates and plenty of ram. I also had this prob in 4.08 but since I don't use videos very often I didn't worry about it.

I had this problem one time after updating my graphics card driver. Rolled back the driver and all was well again.

Maybe try updating your driver with a newer or slightly older driver.

I had all my VCD stuff ripped to avi at one time to save space but the audio quality was really crappy so I went back to the original .dat and .mpeg's.
With large HD's so cheap now it doesn't make economic sense to try and save a few megabytes.

Just a thought

Select the "intermission" tab on the "Show" display, and make sure that the "Always on - Click..." is checked, as it may cause problems with video's in dual display if it is unchecked.

I'll try to roll bavideo drivers and see....I think it's time to also upgrade to a bigger HardDrive....Thanks ...Much Appreciated....

One thing too is MTU recommends you don't do any "Hardware Upgrades" at all through Microsoft. Those are usually behind or generic upgrades that don't work with all cards.
There have been problems when users have used the Microsoft Hardware Upgrades.
