[dba-Tech] WMP on two screens

Indeed, try playing a dvd.


The problem is probably codec related due to copy-protection feature
build in the MS WMP.
There is an MS KB article about this.
Only way to solve this is to use another codec.

Maybe you removed some other DVD player and by dooing that removing the
CODEC that did supported two screens...

Try playing a DVD and see if the problem is back.

This is so weird! I went searching to find a clip to play so that I
could specifically try your suggestion. But when I played a clip, for
the first time in months, it's playing on both screens - without my
having done anything (that I'm aware of). I'll keep your suggestion so
that if it happens again, I can check out the status of Use Overlays.

Thanks.
