Dear Forum,

I have a setup with two monitors (touch screen & projector) !!!
Daily and primary use is the touch screen, BUT when I wan't to see movies or TV I switch on the projector !!

So wan't I want is to force Movies and TV to projector only !!
Can PowerDVD handle this for at least the movies ????

Please give input to an optimal setup :

My setup
Vista Home Premium 32Bit
Geforce 8600GT (Dual output)
ASUS Xonar soundcard

regards ASTVIC

I have done this by telling vista only to extend the desktop onto the second screen (in your case the projector).
Then once the projector is up and running, you simply drag the powerdvd window into the second screen and right-click->full screen. Everything will be as normal on your primary screen, and the projector will only have PowerDVD on it.

Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks for your relpy

So what you are proposing is to set (in my case) the first screen "touch" to primary and second screen as extended desktop right !!

How shall I setup the Nvidia drivers ??? as dual view ???

My only concern is the user freindlyness. I am not shure that my daughter on 9 can figure it out ?????

I have recently shifted to PowerDVD. I used Theatertek (TT) before !!!!
TT had that very nice feature that you could select which screen it would use !!!!!
I can not find that feature in PowerDVD

That could have solved it.

Thanks again.
