17999 | 1 | 19619 | 2010-12-18T04:08:53.217 | 0 | 464 | <p>So whenever I plug my monitor into my Acer netbook for dual monitor functionality, I cannot watch videos on VLC (window is black) or use the webcam on Skype. Does anyone have a work-around for this? Or maybe this is a bug that needs to be submitted?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
