Re: playing video on second display

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I tried WM 11 on a dell machine running xp and yes the overlay settings are
locatated under performance. Not the case with WM 11 on Vista prem on a Sony
Laptop. Confusing! The reason the exibitor program won't work is that I'm
doing dj and windows media suits my needs better for video and music.
besides the add on is very cumbersome to work with a large video library.
Can't understand what happened to the window for the second display, thought
that was automatic. I'm going to try and chase down the graphic card path
with Nvidia.

Trying to view medial player on primary display and show video on second
display. I was able to do this with WM 10. Need to view playlists on the
laptop screen while the videos play on the secondary.
Current config is
WM11
Vista Prem
NVIDA geoforce 8400M gt 256mb dedicated (latest drivers)
HDMI output to HD TV

I have the dual display selected (can see the desktop background on the TV),
tried all the settings. I can't find the video overlay in WM11 settings to

Tools -> Options -> Performance -> Advanced is where the overlay
settings are configured.

tun them off I downloaded the exibitor add on but that will not suit my
needs

Why not ?

It sounds exactly suited for the application you described above...
