Im not sure if it will help your problem, but have you downloaded Ultramon yet? Its an essential peice of software for multi screen setups. I don't use I tunes, so I can't really comment on that problem.

I'm not sure if it can be done, I don't think you can render over both monitors. Well I've never been able to get it to work.

There's a v3 Beta out that works with Vista almost flawlessly.

yeah thats the 1 i used, however it doesnt let you run to things in full screen, however, ive thort could you run program in windowed mode (in compatibility? and make it near enuff full screen but not, im away from my pc so i cant try it

its strange bcos when i play games the other screen doesnt go black? just with itunes :confused:

something is wrong with your itunes, should work just like anything else. Try reinstalling it?

ive just got home, and theres no choice for windowed mode, i downloaded a new version of itunes and it still does the same, could it be bcos the two screens run two different resolutons?

if not il have to use samurize to diplay thhe album cover when itunes is on, but the only 1 can find only shows the artwork for 15 seconds
