Can't use both displays while using Media Center

Hi.

I just wanted to ask, why is while I have media center maximized in my extended display (Plasma TV) I can't use my other monitor while watching a movie or in the media center.

When I try to drag the mouse over to my PC Monitor it does not go.

This only happens while Media Center is Maximized which is always because that is what I use the Plasma for.

I wanted to be able to be watching a movie on the plasma and use the computer with the other monitor a the same time.

Please Help.

Check out The Maxifier - The Maxifier

It will do what you want to do. Great program.

The Maxifier is in BETA for Windows7 and whilst it works, it's also buggy. It looks like the final build will be promising - assuming Microsoft don't fix this horrible WMC bug when releasing SP1...

It does not intercept WMC windows when you are reviving the program from a screen minimize operation, it only intercepts the program and takes control from a startup situation (and if you've got recordings scheduled, or running in the background, it's not a very good idea to force a full program interupt and restart!)

The way I get around this is pressing alt+tab after starting media center then moving my mouse to one of my other displays.

Tapping the Win key does indeed work...

However if you're recording anything have you noticed the results?

Cant say I've noticed anything, but then again I don't record very often.

instead of maximizing try dragging the screen.
