[QUOTE="ChrisOfCatford, post: 389875, member: 23650"] Hi, For me, Vista made dual screen handling work properly without having to use N-view. I had things opening up behind MP in XP which annoyed children/wife when I had to close MP just to click "OK". It requires removing the 'everything going black' "Feature" when you run ANYTHING but has not required much else. This was easy though. I had loads of problems with XP on my server. HDD errors leading to MP playing up. Vista seems to handle things better. Haven't checked recently, but HD jumps a little for me in Vista and was OK in XP, but that may be better now (TechnoTrend released an updated driver and made everything DVB-S slightly more hunky dory). MY PC: Pentium D 3.21Ghz 2GB (4x512) RAM NVIDIA Geforce 7600 GS HDDs: 2x500 (Music/Storage),1x1TB (Rec , 1xTV) 160GB (System) Cooling: Tri-fan+Water cooling (ThermalTake CPU+GPU blocks + odds and sods) Chris [/QUOTE]
