Hi Vindys
Many thanks for these. They are great articles. However I still cannot get
the video to play. I can see the slides on the second monitor and they
advance normally. Its just when there is a slide with video inserted that I

does your video card has an own program to control the first/second monitor?
You should find it in "Windows-Start / control panel / view" on something
like "extended" (I have a German Window and can only guess the English
names).
Most times the video will only play on the first monitor, but maybe you can
find some options to switch the video-output to the second one.
Sometimes it can be a help to turn down the hardware-acceleration for video.

Hi Pia
Many thanks for your help. The video card does have controls for both
monitors. If I clone the desktop I can get video on the laptop and second
monitor with no problem. Its just when I use presenter view that it does not
show video on the 2nd screen although I see the slides OK.
Many thanks - Paul

Have you tried to turn the hardware-acceleration for video down?
