If I am watching tv on media center on one monitor, the mouse is blocked and I can't work on applications on the other monitor.  If I put media center in a window on a monitor, I can then move the mouse to the other monitor and work on applications.  However, then the tv becomes very choppy.  I'm only using about 30% of my resources, which is about 20% less than when I had Beyond TV running on XP.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff Peltier

What are your video cards? Are they they same?

It's a single GeForce 7300 LE.  The processor is an Intel Dual-core 6400 with 2 gigs of memory.  Again the picture is very good when viewed in a full screen in one moniture, but then the mouse won't return to do work on the other computer.  Puting the tv in a window on the monitor allows the mouse to return to work on applications on the other monitor, but thats when the shuddering begins.

Thanks for your input,

Jeff Peltier
