getting video to play on secondary monitor in full screen ..

I used to have a GF4MX460 and run 2 monitors and had it set so if I play a
video it comes up full screen on the secondary monitor.

Now running a 9800 pro and I can only get it to do this if I am using clone
mode which is not what I want 90% of the time.

If I am using extended desktop then the overlay modes are greyed out in the
control panel. If I use clone mode then I can select overlay modes and it
works fine.

Anyone got a fix to allow me to have an extended desktop AND have a video
played on the secondary monitor in full screen?
