Sorry I know this is the PS group but I’m running a slide show in Lightroom on a second monitor and it worked for a while, allowing me to multi-task, then (probably when the laptop got hot or memory ran short) when I alt-tabbed to another window, it would flash back to LR and stop the show, clearing the second monitor to the vista desktop background. I’ve got an unwieldy catalog, it takes a long time for it to think about some tasks, like for example initializing the second monitor. I think this 3-year-old Vaio laptop’s video card is sorta lame, though it’s a premium model that I bought largely because it had a video card with some on-board ram. I’m currently optimizing the catalog which will probably help but if there’s another setting I might have tweaked with an accidental shortcut key or something, I’d appreciate any ideas.
Apart from that, it works great for this purpose, showing slides to customers at a trade show, and if they ask "What’s that?" I can see in LR and pause it there. When it failed, I used irfanview, but I can’t see that monitor so it’s awkward to set up and blind to me as it runs.
I am running Ultramon for some issues with dual monitors in vista, if that matters. It shouldn’t for one application.
