right here's the problem. ive just hooked up a tv to act as a second monitor. all's fine if im just browsing about or playing games etc. i can put eg. msn messenger in one monitor and play away in the other or whatever. however. when it comes to say browsing the interenet in one and watching a dvd in the other, bad things happen. if i pop in a cd with both tv and monitor working, and boot up winDVD, then winDVD gives an error saying: "Create Overlay Failed. Please lower your screen resolution or colour depth and try again."

but if i boot it up with just one monitor working, then everythings fine.

does anyone know how to overcome this if possible? thanks for any info in advance.
