[QUOTE="NickName, post: 132255, member: 21675"] Hi DanneG5, Mediaportal uses DirectX so it can look great however the limitation with DirectX is that only your Primary Screen can run Directx. FYI. Your Primary Screen is the one with the Windows Start button on it. There are various topics in the forums about this. There are a few people who have mucked about with automating the process of switching your primary screen on an 'as needed' basis. This means you could (for example) play a DirectX game on a monitor, quit out of it and then start Mediaportal which then is then displayed on your TV (as the primary screen was switched automagically). I have not done any of the above so if I am wrong, please forgive me. If you wanted to display Mediaportal on multiple screens simultaneously, you'd need to split the video signal from ONE connection on the back of the PC. That way the PC should treat all the screens as primary. If anybody else knows better, please feel free to correct me. Regards, Nick Name. [/QUOTE]
