Starting MP via screen selector worked fine... Only problem was video playback was uneven (not fluid motion) - surfing through these forums it became apparent that the problem is that MP and windows don't play well together when MP is running on secondary screen. So - solution: Run MP on primary, and surf on secondary. I've switched screens, and using "Actual Multiple Monitors" made sure all non-MP windows was displayed on secondary screen, so only MP was on primary. The problem with this solution is that the mouse is 'bound' to MP: even thought i may be surfing firefox on secondary screen, i have to click 2-3 times to get desired response (this applies to all programs on secondary screen) and using the mouse wheel affects MP on primary screen... Solution to this was simple: unclick/unmark "MP always on top" in configuration. My problem now is, that with MP not on top i get frequent disturbances from e.g task manager, etc... Does anyone have a suggestion how i can solve this problem??? Thx... [/QUOTE]
