So after about two weeks of reading, researching, and watching every video on youtube with the words "MIXTRACK PRO" or "VIRTUAL DJ" in it, I finally bought mine yesterday and installed it last night. It came with VDJ LE version 6 something and I was a little confused because it didn't have all of the configuation options I was expecting and less settings than the free home version I was playing with beforehand. I registered it here and downloaded the updated version which was much better but still missing a few things I thought I was going to have access to. So here are my questions just because I'm new to this and I couldn't find the answers anywhere else:
1) Why can't I go full screen on my external monitor? When I click the maximize button it only goes full screen on my laptop monitor and not on the external monitor, does that mean I can't do it or do I have to change my external monitor to my main monitor in the windows settings?
2) Why can't I access the full configuration page so I can change my skin and many of the other individual options? I only have acess to the input/output/soundcard options and I get the free trial to Pro as well. I used to have more options in the free home version that I was sure I'd have in the LE version.
3) Can I set it up so the laptop pushes the main sound out while still keeping the headphones as the cue source or do I have to connect an external sound source to the mixtrack pro using the audio outputs?
Thank you all for the help.

The LE version supplied is a watered down version given free with the relevant controller. I seem to remember full screen video is not available with LE, and you don't need a config page as it's already set up to work with the controller out of the box. LE users also don't have access to skins or plugins. Have a look here at the comparison chart:

The home free version is better featured than LE, but you can't use home with a midi controller. The version you have however gives you a generous discount if you wish to upgrade to VDJ Pro.
