G'day 
I have a 'bits and pieces' system which is using the onboard video card for video, and a second ancient PCI video card - S3 Virge GX - as a photo frame and secondary monitor for the HTPC.
GBPVR doesn't like this config very much.
The only way I can get it to work is to make the onboard screen the 'right' screen in the display manager on XP, and to set GBPVR to run in windowed mode only.
If I try to run GBPVR full screen it will go to the PCI card with a frame rate of about 3 fps - ie useless. If I switch the primary and secondary setting for displays, PVRX2 hangs on startup.
I'm not expecting there'll be a fix for this sort of environment; and have created a dark colour scheme for the window title bar and task bar so it's not too distracting; but if anyone has any suggestions on workarounds I should try I'm happy to listen
Cheers, Mike
