Hello, I've been using Groovy Mame and Emudriver to connect to a 39" Sharp Image CRT and the results have been fantastic. I recently installed a secondary LCD monitor to display the game marquee. I was encourage when the secondary monitor was recognized and I was able to extend the desktop to it. When cycling through the various platforms or the games within, the secondary monitor shows the appropriate marquee. It's only after playing a game and returning to the Big Box menu that I run into trouble. Bigbox is no longer open on my primary monitor (CRT) but on the secondary monitor instead, and for a period of a minute or two I can't move the mouse from the secondary screen to the primary screen. Restarting BigBox resolves the issue until I play another game. I'm using a AMD Radeon HD 5450 with the VGA connected to the CRT and the DVI-D connected to the secondary LCD display. I've reviewed the other posts related to the of secondary monitor when using Groovy Mame and Emudriver, but I could not find a resolution specific to this issue. Any assistance will be most appreciated, thank you.

Sounds like a big box issue to me,looks like big box wants to return to the main monitor after a game, so in tis case your lcd its seing as te main monitor for windows.Try changing your main monitor in windows also you can always set your monitor in mame.ini so that groovymame will only show on you crt monitor. If i were you, i would start fresh installing windows, then emudrivers, then everything else.

I ran VMM again for my CRT and that resolved the issue.
