When I watch PowerDVD on my LCD through the DVI connection it's blank. It does play through the VGA connection.

I just reformatted my OS partition and installed Windows 2000 fresh, updated to SP4, etc. System is Baby Rigzilla in my sig. Using BFG Asylum geforce4 ti4200 128 MB card and 45.23 WHQL nvidia driver. Installed PowerDVD 3.0, which played fine before. However, this time I have two monitors on the card - my old NEC FP2141 CRT on the VGA and a Planar PX191 LCD on the DVI connection. I don't have nView enabled or configured yet. I cancelled out of that right away when installing the display driver. I'll get to that but the problem at the moment is that the PowerDVD video is seen on the NEC CRT (when it's on), but I want to watch it on the LCD, and there it's blank if I use the DVI connection. When using the VGA, I can see it. What's the deal? Thing is the VGA connection is only available when I switch my display Y switch to B. The A setting sends the VGA to the NEC monitor. The switch introduces ghosts - not good. Thanks for any help. :confused:

I found an answer. The nVidia Media Center icon in the tray gives control over this. The card was set to Clone and I set it to single display/digital. That fixed it!
