Dual monitor (or more) adobe flash fullscreen internet explorer moving the mouse

Flash annoys the heck of me when I’m using it on dual or more monitors with hulu fullscreen or such.. anyway i patched it to stop the mouse moving problem

Changes are :-

I had to run the windows recovery console to replace the file,  inuse.exe didn’t work. I tried it on windows XP.

Basically i just NOP’d out the test 0x90 is NOP, 0x0f 0x84 0x850x00 0x00 0x00 is a jz (jump zero)

 

I didn’t really test it much more than loading hulu, switching to full screen and clicking around the other monitors. Interestingly it’ll stay in fullscreen mode if you change tabs and stays in the window, you can even move IE to a different monitor and it’ll stay in fullscreen, for you that might not work, but its better than I’d hoped for ! 🙂 pressing ESC key will return it back to normal, after you’ve returned focus to the fullscreen flash.
