Hi there :)
Using a Laptop which supports two monitors. Laptop runs XP. Teaching Windows 2000 and Office 2000 using VMWare on the second monitor which goes to a projector.
Was hoping to use the preview option to see a small copy of the second monitor on the laptop LCD rather than having to look at the projector image.
Preview works well for a little while (although it slows VMware by about 30-50% on video activity) but then the preview window just stops updating.
Any idea? (Celeron M 1.4GHz, 512M RAM, Intel Extreme video)

Haven't seen this myself, how long does it take until it stops working?

SOrry for the delay in replying. The preview window stops responding anywhere between 30 seconds and a few minutes. This is true even if I'm not running VMWare.
Also, if I resize the preview window, it can crash with an error about reading and writing some memory addresses - I'm sorry I didn't catch the full error message.
Cheers, Mike.

Thanks for the information, I'll try to reproduce this.
Regarding the resize issue: this has been fixed for the next release, 2.6.

I haven't been able to reproduce this so far, monitor preview worked fine for more than 5 minutes. Unfortunately I don't have any idea at the moment what might cause this.
Please note that monitor preview (and mirroring) can't display hardware accelerated 3D graphics and video overlays, you would get a frozen or blank image.
One thing you could check: once the preview gets no longer updated, can you still move the preview window around or close it?
