A question for the experts?

A question for the experts. I am downloading movies files and playing them on my TV with an S-Video link from my PC. I am using XP and installed an ATI Radeon 9600; it works perfect, DVD quality. The question Is: Is it possible to watch the movie on TV and work on something else in the computer at the same time??

You should be able to - as long as your definition of "work" in not an extremely intense videogame ;>}

If your graphics card supports the feature, you can "clone" the screen.

No I dont play video games, MY wife is an e-bayer when I watch movies. How do you set this up??

I've gotta second this. I too want to know how I can do this so that I can watch a movie from my computer with S-video out and still use the computer at the same time.
