I have a 7300GS w/ 2 screens. On freq. occasions, when I drag the Real player program running some RM file to the 2nd screen, I can hear the sound, but the screen is black. And yet some other times it works fine.

Is this a Nvidia driver bug?
 
I think it has to do with the hardware playback of the video file. I've noticed this on my system as well, so I think it is just a "thing" that happens. I did notice that when I changed my video output options in Media Player Classic (what I use instead of Real Player), I pretty much eliminated the problem. I could look up the specific settings I changed if you'd like to know.
 
So it's a setting in Real player that is causing it, that's a good one.

Anyhoo, I just try to open a RM file via Media Classic on my main screen and move it over, I got a black screen.

I also try to open Media Classic on my main screen, drag it over to the 2nd screen, then open the same file, same deal, black screen, got audio but no video.

Regardless, I know Media Classic is a better software. The reason I use Real player is that this seems to be only software that allows me to enlarge very easily.to over 2X.
 
Someone else has a new theory, he said if the video card is not fast enough to process the Rm file at the refresh rate of my 2nd monitor, then it'll display a black screen.

BUt if that is the case, it shouldn't display anything at all time, not just some of the time.
