I have two monitors running on my pc. I would like to use my xbmc only on my secondary monitor(monitor#2) in full screen. However when i try to change it in settings>system>video> display mode; there is no effect. Alt+Enter changes it to full screen on my primary monitor(monitor #1) only. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what you mean? Both my monitor are always on and connected to the PC, and windows has them in extended mode already before I start XBMC.

*make a link to xbmc.exe on your desktop.
*open the link and add in the target-line this ' SDL_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=2' (without the lines, note that there is a 'space' between the target-folder and this command)
*Now xbmc-should launch on your secondary monitor (after you changed the preferred setting in xbmc->settings--> system-->Fullscreen#2)
*You should tick 'Use Fullscreen-Window instead of True Fullscreen in the 'Systems'-Settings of XBMC.
*Now you can use both computer-screens without loosing the focus.
btw, if you have the UltraMon-Utility, you can autostart into two desktops, without the nvidia/ati-tools.
Cheers
