From the Vegas menu bar, select the View pull-down then make sure the Video Preview box is checked. If so, look under the other detachable windows to see if it's hiding there. If you are trying to get external preview then you need to go out through IEEE 1394.

I foregot to mention Windows Media Player ONLY Plays ON the Primary Monitor and not the other 2 monitors...
I think it is some kind of OVERLAY Issue (( Actually I really Wish I Had that Problem )) but concerning Vegas .. I have tried to access " Video Preview " under the VIEW Drop down menu and I can't get it to show up on
ANY of the 3 monitors..... thanks for your suggestions...

T think there's somethin wierd about how the Matrox cards handle multiple monitors. Most cards just extend the desktop, so you run Vegas sized to fit one monitor and drag the preview monitor to the other half of the screen. This can be a tad confusing at first, if you accidently hit the Maximise button then the Vegas TL extends right accross both monitors hiding the preview window.

I think you have to setup the Matrox to work as an extended desktop not two desktops otherwise Vegas will be confused. I know there must be a way to make it fly, SPOT I know uses Matrox cards.

Did you try a search of this forum? Certain this must have come up before.
