*sam* Posted Sep 14, 2010, 1:21 pm	Under Vista (therefore probably the same under Win7) you rightclick desktop and 'personalise/display settings' -- this should let you nominate which monitor is primary and which is secondary. Maybe you already tried this..
johnny go Posted Sep 14, 2010, 2:20 pm	have a serch round for a seting to that will put it all on "screen clone" or something simler it will put whatever on yer main screen on the tv, alternately set the tv as a primary monitor let me know how it goas, i am thinking of doing simler my sellf
*Dark Tempest* Posted Sep 14, 2010, 5:25 pm	No Sam got it with the primary screen option. I'm running Vista, not 7, but all it takes for me is a right click on my desktop background and then a quick search for my display properties to find the multiple display settings. Change the TV to your primary and restart Darkwind, the options menu will change to reflect the new resolution of your primary screen. (If you think that's cool, do a search for some of the stuff people are doing with a little program called Ultramon)
*Grograt* gary.r.horder@gmail.com Posted Sep 14, 2010, 10:48 pm	Cool, thanks lads have you used Ultramon Dark, just checking it out and looks very interesting *Edit* Just d/l trial version,this is freekin awesome
lordbam Posted Sep 15, 2010, 9:28 am	You can probably do it easier with the special keys to switch screen output. Usually you have to press a combination like "Fn" F5 (or something like that) to switch output to either: laptop laptop  + screen screen. If you don't know what combination to use, just post the brand and type of your laptop here. For the technical info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_overlay and Sam got it right.
*Dark Tempest* Posted Sep 15, 2010, 8:39 pm	No Grog, I don't have the money to afford to have second and third monitors on my laptop...
*Grograt* gary.r.horder@gmail.com Posted Sep 15, 2010, 8:52 pm	I have added it to our flat screen tv luckily having a laptop allows me to do this ( though the wife is not impressed with full screen DW ) the application is amazing, thanks for the heads up, well worth anybody who does multi screen to give it a go.
*Bastille* Posted Sep 15, 2010, 10:02 pm	lol, I bet she doesn't. <giggles heartily> Silly Bastiel did not get a graphics card with TV out! Given the choice of two cards, he went the cheaper one thinking it was just brand name jazz. Like who doesn't put TV out on their graphics card now days.  Like who doesn't check the fine print and do some research before purchasing such.
Nark0tik Posted Sep 16, 2010, 2:22 pm	Your graphics card has only one singular output on it Bas ?
ISHOULDCOCO Posted Sep 16, 2010, 8:06 pm	Your next TV will have HDMI or open Display port. Geez Louise , your next phone will probably have HDMi on it COCO
*Maxxed* Posted Sep 17, 2010, 11:10 pm	Using the display setting u should be able to either duplicate or add screen real estate...e.g. having webpage on one screen and the gamescreen on other.....IM me if u need spefics on this kinda tweaking...btw any plans for an effective wide screen display?
