Hey guys, when I have my secondary monitor on whilst playing mir, I like to watch films etc. But mir keeps messing up the resolution on said second monitor, which I don't want to happen.

Any advice, thanks.

There's nothing you can do about that. You can't watch a film and play mir simultaneously on the same computer, even with 2 monitors.

Try setting your res on the second monitor to 800x600, or use a virtual machine for mir :P

Lol my duel screens work fine

I guess GFX Cards would play a part in it, depends what settings are done, I have mine set to never change my resolution no matter what...only problem being cause Mir isn't wide screened, it stretched it a little but after a while you get use to it lol
