Dual view

This seemed like the best place for this post, sory if it is not....

Have dual view setup on my comp at the moment, with 2 monitors on a 6800.
basicly i am trying to run a full screen app on primary and a video(ie wmp) on the secondary,( i know it wont work witgh 2 full screen apps)
But the video display is blacked out while sound is still played. i have had this work when using the Svid out as secondary ( although on old xp pro install and windowed rather than full screen) is this a driver issue/os/???
any idears
windows xp64 build3790
asus v9999/td 6800 (forcewar 9.1.4.7)

many thanks

i think its something to do with overlay settings.

get ultramon. its MUCH better for managing dual screen setups

Im not sure, But when i first started using multiple displays, i found a problem, Where the video will only display on the primary monitor.

Just check, If you swap over, And run the movie on your primary and the task in the secondary. Does the video play then?

yup, this program is awesome

the only thing i've found buggy in it, is when you have a cpu intesive task running on 2nd screen, the taskbar feature becomes pretty laggy..
