*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 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.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Sep 14, 2010, 1:21 pm

*Dark Tempest* The Black Legion Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,049 Joined: Jan 27, 2010 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) ......................... vet wv marshal pvp2 Posted Sep 14, 2010, 5:25 pm

lordbam Nephilim Rising Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,410 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 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. ......................... vet wv zom0,3,0 Posted Sep 15, 2010, 9:28 am

*Grograt* Grograts Gonads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 8,377 Joined: Oct 5, 2008 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. ......................... vet marshal wv community Posted Sep 15, 2010, 8:52 pm

*Bastille* Raging Scavengers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 7,513 Joined: Mar 31, 2009 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. ......................... marshal vet wv pvp4 zom cont pvp32,12,1 Posted Sep 15, 2010, 10:02 pm
