I have a Dell Dimension 8200 running XP Home. I'm using multimonitors; the primary on on a GF3 Ti200 card (1280x1024). The secondary monitor is on a GF2 MX 100/200 card in a PCI slot (1024x768) . Am using NVidia 30.82 drivers.
In the 14 months I've used this set up there have been no problems and I can drag any window from any program over to the secondary monitor and it displays properly. However when I play a commercially released DVD on either the Power DVD or the Windows Media Player, it works fine on the primary monitor but when I drag it over to the secondary monitor the sound continues to play but the video disappears resulting in a black window. All other type video clip files played back on the Win Media Player will display properly on both monitors.
Does anyone have an idea why this occurs ? Thanks much.
Bob

With Windows Media Player it should work fine if you move the player to the secondary monitor first, then start playing the DVD.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.... still, I can't help but *cringe* to see you're using 5-month old drivers. Go to NVIDIA's website and download the latest set: http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=winxp-2k_41.09
The program is self-extracting -- just double-click and it'll do the rest for you. This way, you'll be prepared for the most optimal compatibility if/when you decide to update to the latest version of Windows Media Player.
Just my $0.01 (due to inflation)...
