Need behaviour confirmation from Vista 64bit MCE users, dual monit Chappy 07-13-2008

Hi

I need some other Vista users (64bit or 32bit) about a Media Center behavior
on dual monitor setups, or it could happen on single setups too so if you get
this also please post here. We need a few users with this behavior before I
can send a bug report to MS. Here's my setup & what happens..
Vista Hm Prem 64bit, Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, 4G's RAM, BFG Nvidia 8800 GTS
OC 320MB, dual HP w2207 22" monitors, Hauppauge HVR 1600 TV Tuner card with
current drivers, all current Win Updates.

When I start Live TV with MC, it will start full screen on my second
monitor, but it disables the Aero on both. I have to click the "Restore down"
button (the middle of the upper right Minimize, Restore Down, Close Red X) to
get it in a smaller window, then click it again (twice) to go full screen
mode, and then click the Restore Down button again and then the Aero feature
is re-enabled once more.

If I click the restore down button again to go full screen, Aero is once
again disabled. Since you can't move the mouse cursor out of the MC screen
while it's in Full Screen mode, you have to restore it down and then drag it
out to full screen so you can use the mouse on the other screen.

But as soon as I start MC with Live TV, the Aero gets disabled and I have go
thru all the above to get it back again...restore down, go back full screen,
restore down again..Aero is back. That's a serious PITA and I'd like to
confirm other users have this same issue so I can get this confirmed as a Bug
and get it fixed.

Thanx!
Dave
