Thanks, James! I've been up to my ears in other projects, and finally getting back to this one.... It's evolved a bit now, and other issues have arisen...

I've got 4 DisplayLink monitors (DoubleSight DS-10U) in addition to one "regular" display...

Here's the issue: I've got the first displaylink monitor defined as my "main monitor" (via windows screen-resolution dialogue), and my application works fine, and does just what I expect... However, when I remove the "regular" display from the mix, thing go a bit wonky, and the application apparently fails... I say "apparently, because, without the regular display, I see nothing on the others but the Windows logo...

So, is there some way to convince Windows that the regular display isn't needed, and chug merrily along, or, if that's not possible, is there some sort of dongle I could plug into the HDMI port to fool windows into thinking the IS a display attached?

Thanks loads for any help any of you gurus/gurettes can offer!
