Vegas Pro 11 external monitoring

I have a three LCD monitor setup in my edit room. Right monitor for Preview (Full screen), centre monitor for timelines and the left monitor for tools, explorer etc. I also have a CRT monitor for Tech Checking, which is connected via the 1394 port through an ADVC 100.
I have been using Vegas 9 and 10 for quite some time and when I want to see my commercials on my CRT monitor I click on the external monitor button and the image appears on the CRT - no problem. BUT... I have now downloaded Vegas Pro 11 and the external monitoring is not coming through the 1394 port, instead it puts the image on my centre monitor replacing my timelines. This is no good for checking TV commercials - I have to see the image on a CRT. I have both V10 and V11 loaded and 10 works and 11 doesn't. What has happened?

Bob,

Have you selected "OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394/DV" as your preview device?

Options>Preferences>Preview Device.

No DJ, I had not selected "OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394/DV"as my preview device. I have now and all is good and back to normal.
Many thanks, you've helped enormously. I'm surprised I didn't think of that answer myself - probably getting old!

Best
