I have an GTX275 card , i have my PC monitor connected to 1 dvi socket on my 275 and my hdtv connected to the other dvi socket. I would like to game on my hdtv whilst still display my desktop on my pc monitor. How do i go about doing this as i cant see an option for this on the nvidia CP??
 
Hmm, when i try what you suggested, it disable my hdtv display, and i have to select extend these displays to enable the hdtv display, but then im back at step 1 again
 
nah what i want is when i load a game, id like it sent to my 2nd display (HDTV) whilst display 1 still shows the desktp
 
ok so how would i go about moving the task bar and start menu to the other display then, as i can drag all my desktop icons over to my now 2nd display but the task bar is still on the primary display now?

This is a bit of a pain i though in this day and age the Nvidia CP would have an option where you could select which apps loaded in which display, so you could just add the game to a list and tell is to send it to which ever display on launch!

Ah so it does. I guess its a work anound, but not all the game i will want to play on my hdtv, game like fps and rts ill still want to play with the mouse and pc monitor...bugger!!! Do the ati card have an option in the control panel to do what i want?
 
Ok a problem im noticing is that all notifications are appearing on the now primary screen even though i have the task bar and everying on my 2nd display, is there a way to change this?
