The problem with this scenario is that for one, you can't "see" what your doing and the other problem is that when you play "full screen" the DVD player automatically by default chooses the "main" monitor which, in my case is in the office...I think I might have a fix though..... I simply "change which monitor is the main monitor" in display pref's and then operate the front room monitor by remote IR plugged into the PowerMac. It's a good thing I live in a mobile home where the office is just one wall away from the living/front room:-) Jeff -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
