I have a monitor and TV connected to my PC (ASRock H55M + Intel® Core™ i3-530 Processor (4M Cache, 2.93 GHz) with good Integrated Intel HD Graphics).

I watch MP on TV.

I set to open MP on TV but when I switch off the TV and then switch it on and MP window moves to the monitor.

Then I always close MP (Alt+F4) and restart it. It's very inconvenient.

BTW on another PC with NVIDIA videocard there's no such problem.. So I think it's connected with Intel HD Graphics.

How to KEEP MP on the same screen (TV) always?

    I don't know of such a solution. The issue is, that your Gfx card alters the windows display settings when the TV is off, so that you do not have a 2nd monitor anymore. So windows moves all applications from the 2nd monitor to the first one. I am not sure if there is a windows notification that the 2nd monitor is available again.

    You might try minimizing & maximizing MP and map that action to a key / remote button.

    So this is Windows 7 annoying "feature" - the solutions downgrade to Windows XP
    What about such problem in Windows 8?

    Have you tried MediaPortal Config-->General-->Use screen selector to choose on which screen MP should start?

    hfcrussel you didn't understand the problem.

    Have you tried MediaPortal Config-->General-->Use screen selector to choose on which screen MP should start?

    YES! MP starts on the 2nd monitor (TV) but when I switch the TV off and then turn it on - MP window moves to the the 1st monitor.

    So I will install Windows XP..
