I have an ATI Radeon 9500, with the latest drivers installed, I have a second screen (to be the TV). When I go to General in the MediaPortal config, it says "Start Screen", It is greyed out and set as the Default Monitor, I know for a fact that it is working because GB-PVR (my previous PVR software) will start on the second screen quite easilly.

Can anybody help me, PLEASE :D

    You have to tick the box few rows above the selectbox for screen. It's called screenselector or something like that.

    Or if you want to be able to start MP on either screens, you can leave MP setups config alone and just start MP with commandline parameter:

    Mediaportal /screen=0
    or
    Mediaportal /screen=1

    depending on which screen you want MP to go. Note that using MP's screenselector always overrides commandline parameter (at least it did when I last used it), hope that devs will fix this someday.
