I figured it out! I should probably make a seperate thread.

So as you know if you have Nvidia Surround and use Chrome, that when you go into full screen mode some of you are unable to see full videos on your screen for youtube(unless you use html5), your favorite other sites that use flash. Before I get into details here is the fix:

1. Go to chrome://plugins/ and disabled the adobe flash player there

2. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and click windows, then on the drop down click "Install for other Operating Systems"

3. Install

4. Now go to chrome://plugins/ it should look like this below

Code:
Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 11,9,900,170
Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
Name:   Shockwave Flash
Description:   Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
Version:   11.9.900.170
Location:   C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\31.0.1650.63\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll
Type:   PPAPI (out-of-process)
     Enable
MIME types:   
MIME type   Description   File extensions
application/x-shockwave-flash   Shockwave Flash   
.swf
application/futuresplash   FutureSplash Player   
.spl
Name:   Shockwave Flash
Description:   Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
Version:   11,9,900,170
Location:   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_9_900_170.dll
Type:   NPAPI
     Enable
MIME types:   
MIME type   Description   File extensions
application/x-shockwave-flash   Adobe Flash movie   
.swf
application/futuresplash   FutureSplash movie   
.spl
Disable   Always allowed


5. They both have the saying Enable. The key is to go to NPAPI and click Enable.

6. Wallah it's fixed.

Ok so for you techno geeks out there, why does this work? Based off my research in short, Scroogle and Adobe teamed up so that flash was native in the API of Chrome. The problem is that it is incompatible with a lot of "High End setups" So most users will never see our issue due to how, "who is going to have 3 monitors right" If you want the terms PPAPI means Out of process and NPAPI is more like being in process.

So there you go see full screen video to your hearts content.
