Presentation freezes on 2nd monitor when using 1st.

[DJ Baune]

I am trying to play presentations on a second monitor, however when I try to
run any program on my first monitor, the powerpoint presentation freezes
until I close the program on the first monitor. I would like to have the
presentations playing continuously on the second monitor (in a waiting room)
while my front desk is using the first monitor for business purposes.

Hi there

Yep. You would need to use the powershow plugin - more info available here:

If you are running Vista, you can do this without PowerShow. Check out this
entry from my blog:
