| Dual monitors & Media Center I've been using Vista Media Center on a dual monitor setup which works fine except for one niggly little problem. When watching TV I have MC open on my second monitor while I work on the primary monitor but if I run MC full screen the cursor is locked in and I can't move it back to the main monitor. I can drag the MC to almost full screen and everything is fine. I also have Power Cinema which doesn't have this problem. Just wondering if anybody knows of a solution as I like Media Center and would prefer to use it. Thanks. |

| Re: Dual monitors & Media Center Thats typical behavior of fullscreen applications, games do it as well. Your "almost full screen" solution is the best. |

Location: 3rd Rock | Re: Dual monitors & Media Center Good program - I'll email the author to allow for settings to automatically load MCE on the primary monitor in a FTS mode that leaves the mouse usable on the second screen.... |
