Ok, I have finally figured how to download and play 720p/1080p movies on my laptop and also listen on windows media 10 in 5.1 surround through my Pioneer 59TXi...My next obvious move was to hook up a cable from my laptop to my front projector...Well, the windows media part shows up on the screen, but the movie doesn't...I can see it on my laptop, but not up on the screen. What the heck am I doing wrong?...I have the picture cloned so it will show up on 2 monitors, but on the projector screen everything shows up, (all other applications)...but the movie clip part will not show up. Can someone help?

Never mind, I figured it out. I had monitor 2 (projector) set up as analog. I can't set the primary and secondary both in digital. So I just set the laptop (primary) to analog and the projector (secondary) to digital. And now it works! I'll just have to live without being able to see the film on both the laptop and projection screen at the same time....
