Need help with Multi Display of TV and PC

[bunny wabbit]

Hi there... i was wondering if there's anyone out there would help me with the multi display function.

I have a Packard Bell PC with an ATI Radeon 9200 in it. At the moment when i open Media Player 9 and open a movie file, on the TV screen it shows the movie but not on my monitor (which i dont really mind) but in order for me to see the full screen on my telly, i need to switch the Media Player onto a full mode.

The thing is I want the movie to show full screen on the telly and also at the same time can do other stuffs on the computer without affecting the movie displaying on the TV..... I hope you get what i am trying to say here...

Is there anybody out there can help my with the settings perhaps...????

Any suggestion would be appreciated...Thanx

Hmmm..not sure you can do that...I think whatever goes on one monitor goes on the other

Hi John Prophet...

The thing is that i had a friend who actually had his computer connected to his TV. He didn't had a DVD player, so he played the CD from his computer running on Media Player 9 so that his kids could watch the movie on the telly while he's doing his assignment on the same computer without closing and maximising the Media Player. Is there a way U can make Media Player to be yur Primary display screen on the TV???? I dont really know abt it but all i know once he close the Media Player program then it would show whatever he's doing on the computer to the TV....

nway if U can't help it's alright... thanks for the reply though...

With the latest few Catalyst driver releases, you can move the movie window to either screen, and maximize it there. You need to get off Clone mode and into Extended Desktop for this.
