Hey peps if i could get some help here i would much appreciate it.
I have a Nvidia 7800 which i recently hooked up another monitor too(dual
dvi) I now have no video from media player, quicktime, etc.. Only web based
video works(which is weird because the web based video is running wmp. When i
unplug monitor 2 the video works fine again, after a reboot and the like of
course. Anyone know wuts going on here? Sound and everything else works fine,
its just showing a black screen on the players.

What nVidia driver are you using?
I'm using 169.25 with my GeForce 7800 GTX and 2 LCD monitors.

Sounds like the media players are in "overlay" mode. Look in player options
to turn "overlay" off.

I think I'm wrong about overlay issue. Was thinking of something else.
But... are you saying that the media player image is blacked out on both
monitors or just the 2nd?

Its blacked out on both. When i start media player, it pops up on the first
monitor and its just a black screen but its playing. I drag it over to the
second monitor and the same thing is happening. I can hear sound and skip
ahead and all that good stuff but no video. I have the lastest drivers for
my geforce(169.25). But again, if i unplug the 2nd monitor and reboot it
works fine. I tried finding an 'overlay' option in options and wasnt able to
find it, is it labeled something else? Thanx for the previous answers by the
way. keep em coming if u could

Are you spreading your image ACROSS both monitors? Media Player
probably will balk at that.
