My system has 2 monitors 1 --- a 1920x1080 LCD flat screen, the other a smaller (though higher res) Dell monitor. When I start media portal, it came up on my primary desktop, and I coudn't see any way to move it over to the the 'entertainment' monitor. Kept going through settings, but 'nada'. Seems like Windows-Media Center has this config op somewhere, -- or maybe it was just a matter of minimizing it and dragging it to the right screen then hitting maximiize, but nothing short of exiting the program would get media portal to let me get out to my desktop!

I didn't see it in the list of common problems, so, I'm guessing it isn't a common problem?

My PC sits in the living room and doubles as a media playing device... Usually does ok, though lately Photoshop's been getting hungry on memory...and it only sees 1/2 of my dual-card setup's memory (actually nothing really sees my "graphics card" as having more than 768K, but I do see 2 of them listed... (it's really 1 graphics card w/2 chips (GTX 295)....anyway, even though the card supposedly has 1.5G, it runs like it only has 768M, (and utils like sysinternals only show 768M of ram... though the HW manager will show 2 of the same card -- each w/768M for a total of 768 in my "graphics card" (don't make sense to me either).

Anyway, ignore my graphics idiocy -- how do I get mediaportal to display on the correct monitor?

Thanks!
