yes I tried this, unfortunantly, in doing so the entire windows desktop is then moved onth the projection screen. So yes it solves one problem by creating another. Anytime I want to use the computer, I have to have both monitors powered on and instead of having the windows desktop display on the desktop monitor it's on the projector screen.

Also I don't buy off on the statement that direct x can't support a secondary display, my current media appl (meedio) supports direct x just fine on the secondary display. as do several direct x games.

I think someone didn't research this very well or it's just not a high enough priority item to look into it further. But I 'd wouldn't mind seeing any documentation on direct x that supports the fact that secondary display are not supported.

But I seriously doubt MS would be so shortsighted to release a api with a limitation such as this.
