Re: Vista MCE on dual-screen system

i have exactly the same prob here , i run MCE on a second screen in the front room but its a nightmare to do

my method is this and i`d appreciate any thoughts you may have

1 i have the second screen set up as extend to second monitor
2 i start MCE
3 it appears on PC monitor
4 i move MCE off PC monitor and slide it to the right and off the screen
5 i go into front room with mouse and maximise MCE

trouble is once done , i to lose the use of my PC`s normal functions on my PC monitor

if i want control back i have to take the mouse back into the front room and shut MCE off there

my thoughts were Nvidia drivers and the fact that the drivers are stil not telling the vid card to use its onboard processing , instead the machine is doing most of the processing...thats what i had read but after reading above seems its a common problem , drivers may not be the issue ???

ps
alt + tab just wont work for me , if i try i get a garbled PC monitor screen that flashes and jumps about like mad ...now that is a driver issue LOL
