[QUOTE="lewisdw, post: 24303, member: 11127"] A slight update to my above questions, and some remarks to callifo: MP will open and run in fullscreen on the primary display (yeah!), however, I lose the taskbar on the 2nd display when it does this (not too big a deal, but annoying). Is there a way to prevent MP from closing the taskbar when in fullscreen mode, or have it open maximized without borders? To callifo or anyone else that can answer: you're saying that MP or any other program can't monitor for input from a device unless it has focus? That just doesn't sound right, but it might be. It would seem that there should be a way to have MP watch for keypresses on the remote since it has exclusive control of it, even when not the foreground application (or is this the problem, it loses control of the remote when it's not in the foreground? If so, just don't give up control!). If that's not possible, can I assign a button on the remote (hauppauge 40 something key remote) to bring MP back to the foreground when pressed? If so, how? Thanks again [/QUOTE]
