In the graphics card settings (I think in advanced) there is a tickbox that says 'use extended desktop' - your desktop will then 'stretch' over both monitors and you can freely drag applications between the two.

But, he said Real Player "shifted" to monitor 1, implying that it started in monitor 2. If had not activated 'use extended desktop', he wouldn't see anything on monitor 2, would he?

well i guess real player only able to play in primary monitor..... i discover this after i did a search on the web... mediaplayer is able to play in both monitor...

I don't know your Vid Card set-up but 2nary Monitors are for 2D only. There is a handy program called UltraMon that makes operations {ie. Shifting, Screen Savers, Controlling} simpler ...

If you seek a fine vid & audio player free or pay -- Jetaudio at JetAudio link They have both and the freeone plays all your realAudio files too and near all vids.

Some video card is weird..
I notice when I had a ti4600, quicktime will play on monitor 1 but not 2, when i drag it half way in the middle, the left side (m1) continues to play, the right side (m2) has a pause pic

When i upgrade to the 5700, it started to play on both side.. now im using the matrox triple head, it seem to play normal speed in monitor 1 but pauses in monitor 2...

I guess its how they implement the drivers..
