More info?)
Thanks for the info. I'm going to play around with MultiDesk and see if I
can configure something useful with that while I'm waiting for ATI to reply.
I'm not holding my breath on this one. I'm willing to add a TV Wonder, I was
going to so I have a second tuner so I can record one thing while I watch
another. I asked them to tell me if that's the answe but I haven't heard
back yet. If that'll lets me run a MMC TV window on the secondary monitor
I'll do it. But if that won't work either, I'm getting rid of this card and
getting a Theatrix. I'll just put the 9600XT I had in this machine back
where it was and get another card for the other pc. $300 and it doesn't do
what they said it'll do? I don't think so...Bye Bye AIW
