Using Embeded Windows Media Player with Two LCDs

Open original thread
Ok, here is my current project/headache/problem.

I have 5 computers that connect to eachother through a workgroup. Each PC has 1, 19"LCD and 1, 32LCD hooked to it. The 19"LCD is the primary and the 32" is the secondary. The systems are all using NVIDIA NVS300 video cards (I'm not sure if i will need to code something into the program to talk with the card...but from the sounds of it I may).

I have built an application that has windows media player embeded into it. Two things I want to do, first on application startup, I want the application to load on the secondary screen at all times (and stay there unmoveable at full screen). Second, I have the embeded player working, playing dvd files through the network, however, when I tell it to go to full screen mode the application hangs. It is like the embeded player is trying to display out the 19"LCD instead of the 32"LCD (where I have dragged the applicaiton window to). If I use the embeded media player as is, no full screen all works great!

Does any one have any suggestions or a good resolution to accomplish these two final tasks for my program?

Thanks!

EDIT:
I have tried adding code directly to a Button instead of using the menu in media player, still the same result.
