| Vista | 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. |

| Windows 7 Professional 64-bit | Re: Dual monitors & Media Center Thats typical behavior of fullscreen applications, games do it as well. Your "almost full screen" solution is the best. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Dual monitors & Media Center What I have found id that by pressing the windows button on the keyboard, allows me to move the mouse out of the MC monitor that I have it on. This is the only solution I found that works, if you would like to use full screen |
