[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 58963, member: 17886"] Hi Taipan! I already thought, I'm the only one with this idea of a perfect htpc. That's exactly what I wanted to do. However, turning off the picture on the touchscreen while watching TV / videos is not so important to me. Of course it would be nice if we were able to display TV / videos only on the beamer and anything else on both displays. But as far as I know this is not possible due to restrictions of Windows XP (directX acceleration is only possible on the primary display and for video content on one display and the MP menu on the other one we would need directx for both displays). What case / touchscreen do you have? [USER=21309]sambuddy[/USER]: Sorry for hijacking your thread ;-) But I think you'll run into the same problems as we do. You would either need to clone your primary display on your kitchen touchscreen (which meens probably a very long vga and USB cable) or perhaps using a pocket PC with this remote control plugin instead of just a touchscreen (wich probably doesn't suit your needs as you wanted to see some camera pictures on your touchscreen).
