[QUOTE="doveman, post: 791392, member: 67412"] OK, thanks I'll try again and make sure Aero is enabled. As for "don't do it", I think that'll be rather disappointing for MPDisplay2 users ;) I could enable my ATI IGP and use that for one screen. However I've read some reports that this didn't help and it would make life hard for me as sometimes I want to game on my TV and other games are better played sitting at my desk using my monitor. If using the IGP does solve the problem, I guess when I get a LCD monitor with multiple inputs, I can connect the IGP VGA to one (to use whilst MP is running on the TV via the 6950) and the 6950 DVI or HDMI to the other (to use when I want to game on the monitor in single screen mode). The main reason I want to use dual-screens is so that I can avoid the energy cost of having a second PC running to do Internet stuff, write letters, etc whilst I'm watching TV. Makes life easier having all my files, bookmarks, etc on one PC as well. Anyway, I'll experiment a bit more. [/QUOTE]
