fixed Dual monitor, can't work on primary

Never mind, as soon as I finished typing I knew what it was, had "keep mediaportal allways on top" selected. Sorry for the useless post.

I've set-up MediaPortal to run on my second monitor which is a 50" plasme tv. Both are connected with dvi (two connections on the graphics card) All is working perfect now but I still have one small problem.

I would like to be able to work on my pc with the primary screen while someone else is using MediaPortal on the TV. The problem is that while MediaPortal is running I can't select anything. I can click something but when you need a cursor, to type in an url for instance, the cursor disappears immediately. As soon as i close MP everything returns back to normal.

Does someone have a solution for this, and are there people who can use the pc with a similar setup?
