    I now have a dual-display setup thanks to a friend. I've got two displays set at 1280 x 1024 with the nView settings set so that they act as "One large horizontal desktop" with a resolution of 2560x1024. I'm trying to get a movie to play fullscreen across BOTH at once, but all I get is video on ONE of the monitors, and on the other it stays blank. If I drag a video window across the two screens. whichever screen is displaying a greater percentage of the video is the one where the video actually shows up - cut off wherever it is. The other side just shows black. I don't get it... Windvd and WMP both do that. Quicktime however, plays across both, but that doesn't play DVDs! HELP!!! Thanks.

    UPDATE: InterActual DOES play across both screens, but that player is terrible, as I'm sure you know.

    Nothing you can do about it, the program you use must have support for multiple monitors, and as you found out, most do not.
