Music stops when display is turned off (1 Viewer)

[Owlsroost]

Have you tried turning off the 'visualisations' (I think they are called) in MP music setup ?

You could also try disabling the ATi driver service (msconfig -> services) which may stop Windows & MP from seeing changes in the connected displays.

I don't use visualizations
I will try stopping/disabling the ATi Driver Service - perhaps that will help. I will report back as soon as I get to try it out.

Today I tried looking for the ATi Driver Service. However, I don't have such a service.
The only ATi-related service I have on my XP system is ATi Hotkey Poller (or something like that).

Still looking for a solution
Any help appreciated.

I think that's the one you need to disable.

Owlsroot, disabling the ATi Hotkey Poller service seemed to do the trick.
THANK YOU very much, this little issue had me really annoyed for a while
