I need some help, I have dual displays and when I try to play like css on the main and watch a movie on the other the movie goes blank. There is still audio but no video for the dvd. Any ideas how to fix this?

EDIT: Using a BFG 6800 Ultra video card.

i dont think it's possible .. but i've tried on an ATI card not an Nforce.. i think you can only play vid in one screen at a time.

Try ALT+TAB-bing out of CS:S (It will take a long time), moving the DVD window around, then ALT+TAB-bing back in to CS:S.

You can do this stuff with some games, but CS:S doesn't seem to want to let anything else run while it's on.

<--Has four displays.
