Not a MP specific issue, but generic multi-display help needed.
Here's what I'm looking to do, and cannot figure out an easy way to do it:
I have an HTPC with a 42" LCD as the primary display via HDMI.
Running Windows 7 Ultimate
Running Ultramon
Secondary display is a 17" LCD monitor via VGA
What I'd like to do is run a picture slideshow on the secondary display at all times. I have not found the right application for this yet (perhaps ACDSee), but that is not the main issue. The problem is whenever I shut the primary display off, or change the source (DVR), the secondary display becomes the primary.
Is there any way to prevent this? The 17" display is too small and too far away to become the primary, and have MP launch on the secondary.
Seems like an easy problem to solve, however I've spent too much time researching this and just want to watch tv.
Thanks in advance.
