My test computers are used for anything & everything. Sometimes I even try to purposely go against certain recommendations just to see what will happen, so far I have no negative reports to push so I don't know what to make of that.

How do you get WMP slideshow to display on the extended screen in between Hoster songs? When I tried dragging it over the entire window shows & I had to mouse over to the second screen to hit play & pause in-between. Or are you using Hoster's Intermission?
