Synopsis::


when dragging MP to a secondary screen, the program crashes
this only happens if my tv is active,

then a reboot is required in order to view my tv

It is well known that MP doesnt play well with multiple monitors. If you want to switch screens you must use the Change Device function under the File menu at the top.

And again:

An end user shouldn't use that menu, that's an old relict for some debugging long time ago. As some users are using it (and have a buggy MP, but that's their business), it's still there for playing around. So don't be surprised if you experience sth unexpected. As stated several times before, secondary screen is NOT supported due to lack of DirectX acceleration. That's a Microsoft problem. Search the forums for more information, please.
