I just got my dual 2005FPW's, and had a question. For some reason, if I set a DVD to play (using PowerDVD), it will only show the image on the primary monitor (whether it is 1 or 2). If I drag the window half way between them, the other screen simply has a black image where there should be video playing (which is playing on the other side). It does this both in Dualview and cloning.

Do the new drivers still do this? If so, is there a way around it?

Also, I have noticed that when doing anything GPU intensive on the secondary monitor, it slows down a lot. Is there a reason for it?
