| | Multiple Displays with PC and television I have my laptop PC connected to my television with a s-video cable. It is currently set to have to same display on each monitor. I would like to be able to view video files through windows media player and have them displayed on the television monitor while I simultaneously use my computer to do other things. Is this possible? |

| | Re: Multiple Displays with PC and television You need dual view monitor support, where you can drag the wmp window onto the tele and watch it whilst using the pc monitor for pc stuff. Check the graphics card options. For viewing videos you may need to turn off acceleration as well. -- Graham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.com "Johnny B" <Johnny B@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:3373AAA8-3674-48F8-B5F6-BD9A16283526@xxxxxx Quote: >I have my laptop PC connected to my television with a s-video cable.
