I have my pc monitor and tv connected to my 7600GT and am using the dual view option. Whenever I load a game it opens on my pc monitor, is there any way to get it to load up on the tv instead?
 
Tick the TV checkbox for 'make this the primary display'. This will make the TV the primary display and the monitor the secondary display. Alternatively you could clone the display to show the same thing on both :)
 
In the new CP there is an option to select iirc so that when something loads fullscreen it'll load on a certain screen. (although that might just be for movies).
 
ok great cheers, i've got the latest drivers and can select which app to open on which screen, but when i select my games to open on HDTV, they still open up on my main monitor :confused:

if you right click on your desktop, properties, and click on the settings tab you should have two boxes (1 and 2). I think Games will be opening on the main monitor because that is set as "Primary Monitor". I don't know if you can get games to open on another screen, unless this option is changed. However, then Windows will be on the HDTV screen. Hmmmmmm! :confused:

See I've ever only used my HDTV for a second screen or for watching movies on. Not for playing Games....yet. ;) My mate however, does play games on his TV and had to set that option to the other monitor.
