    DVD playback not showing on secondary screen

    Just upgraded to dual core system with a 8800 GTS. When I play dvd movied on powerdvd, it works fine on main monitor, but when I move over to secondary screen, no video shows. I can have the dvd window half on each screen and get video on main screen and nothing on other. Any ideas? Tim
