Hello, I have a pc with windows vista 64-bit and a ati hd 4800 series graphics card. I have it hooked up to my tv via s-video cable. I can watch movies on my pc and they play fine on tv when cloned. I would like to be able to minimize the movie on the pc and watch it full screen on the tv. I was able to do this with my older Nvidia graphics card, but now that I have switched, I can't seem to figure it out. What settings do I need to change to be able to do this? I have tried changing the settings in Catalyst as far a playback in theater mode, but as soon as I minimize the movie on the pc it does the same on the tv. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I'm not sure if t his is the way to go, but on my laptop I can configure 2 monitors (right click desktop - settings - ...). One is the main monitor, the other is the VGA output. I can have one document on the desktop and at the same time show a slide presentation full screen on the external monitor. Check if t his is possible with your video output as well and direct the video to the second monitor.
Select separate desktop for each i think you'll find is the setting,however you may not get a taskbar on the 2ndry device,all you do is drag window over to it,kinda works like span or at least on mine it does,pretty slack really which is why like you i use clone
Thanks for the replies. I used the extended desktop selection and got it working as you sugguested. Thankyou. I had never tried it since someone had told me I needed some software like Synergy, but that wasn't the case. Thanks again. This site Rocks!!!!!
