Hi,

I have a video card with VGA + DVI and 2 monitors.
In Powerpoint I asked diaporama to be on the 2nd monitor (by default).

I run it and it works well, maybe a bit slower when I run a PPS file than if
I press F5 when opened within Microsoft Powerpoint.. anyway.

The problem occurs when on the 1st monitor i want to do something. Any
application I run makes Diaporama powerpoint to stop as it becomes somehow in
2nd plan... If you have only 1 monitor, it looks like you press F5 from
powerpoint, then, try to run anything a movie while diaporama is playing...
it will stop, until you press on reduced application icon on the bottom tu
put it back in front plan.

So I don't find a solution. I want Powerpoint to run on itself on the second
monitor regardless what happend on the 1t monitor.

Thanks for help

The powerpoint show will always stop when you do something else on monitor 1.
The only solution AFAIK is an "add on" eg powershow from officeone
-- http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html

Did that answer the question / help?
