Haven't you read the manual? The bit where it says "press any key to continue"? My keyboard hasn't got an "any" key, and it really pisses me off... Doh! It plays outside of PT? On both monitors? If it plays on only one (as is the case with some video cards) try moving your video window in PT to there. Otherwise, I'm scratching my head. If no-one else more experienced with PT comes back to you with a fix, I'll pick up on this later (video being my area). KB
