Hey man thanks a lot for finding this awesome application, I couldn't get IrfanVirew or Picasa to go in full screen slide show mode on my second monitor (HDTV). They'd jump to my main monitor like the default Windows picture viewer. I'm really disappointed to see how useless some of the great and popular apps can be at times of need.

Uninstalled both?IrfanVirew or Picasa! Long live FreeVimager!
