Monitor Folders Issue

I just plugged in my second monitor. I'm now running a dual screen set-up and
now Media Player will not find any media anymore. I keep getting "There are
no items in the library yet - the Player is searching for digital media files
in the background." The problem is, when I try to add a folder for it to
watch, it shows them added until I click ok. Then they disappear and the same
for Media Center as well. I've tried removing the second monitor thinking
that makes the difference, but nothing yet. Anyone able to help me get my
library back please?

Re: Monitor Folders Issue

Have you opened the files in any other application or player?
