When setting up Windows media center, I would like to watch tv programs through media center just on my tv and still be able to use my computer at the same time. I have just installed a Nvidia Ge-Force 6600 PCI-Express 256mb video card and set the display features to use 2 displays with display 1(analog) being my computer monitor and the primary display as usual and the display 2 (tv) to my Toshiba FTS pure flat screen (tube) television. Now when I open media center it opens on the computer monitor as usual and I can drag it horizontally into the tv display and enlarge it to full screen and be able to watch tv programs on just the tv...BUT my mouse cursor will be trapped in the tv monitor display and subsiquently I am not able to use my computer on the primary monitor of the computer because the mouse cursor will not come back horizontally onto the primary screen when media center is in full screen mode on the tv!!! PLEASE HELP... Is there a better way to go about this so I can use my computer still and watch tv through media center on just my tv ??? The reason I ask is because i want to use the Personal Video Recorder media center comes with and still use my computer as usual...Apparently Media Center when running in "Full Screen Mode"requires the mouse cursor to remain in the Media Center window...How do I get arround this???...PLEASE HELP!!!

HP M7160N,Intel Pentium D 820 CPU 2.80GHz(x2),250 GB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive w/ 1GB PC2-3200 DDR2 SDRam memory,HP DVD Writer 640c=double layer 16x DVD+/-R/RW,Microsoft Windows XP Professional ver. 5.1.2600(service pack 2.0),K-Lite Codec Pack Full v2.71,Nvidia Ge-Force 6600 PCI-Express 256MB video card
