span your desktop (so each monitor is NOT a clone of the other)

play movie in your secondary monitor.
just start it up and drag the window over.

game starts up in your main monitor

you see both.

i've got an ati 9700 pro and this works perfect for me.

Couldn't create primary surface

And the movie became a black screen then i must close the game (or alt-tab) to restart and the start the movie !

What must I do ?
