I've been fiddling around with settings in both MP as well as in the video driver to get MP to show up fullscreen on the secondary display (which is a TV). [i]Please note that I did use the search function, but I couldn't get a conclusive answer.[/i] With the FX5500, I suddenly had this working after a fresh install of both MP and the driver. Settings I did change: Extended desktop onto secondary display, show overlays fullscreen on secondary. It now showed MP in a window on my primary display, and fullscreen on the second, and it stayed like that whilst playing videos or doing whatever. Now, I've switched the card around for a Radeon 9700, because I wanted a DVI output. All fair enough, I uninstalled the drivers, switched the cards, installed latest Catalyst, and made the same setting changes as before (extend desktop, show overlays fullscreen on secondary display). Now, it doesn't only not show MP fullscreen on the secondary display, but it doesn't even do it when watching a video. If I load up PowerDVD however, things are fine and the overlay goes fullscreen on the TV again. After browsing the forums, the situation I achieved with my GeForce wasn't even possible apparently. I haven't tried putting that back in, to see if I can reproduce it, but I reckon I can do that just fine. Can anyone help me make the settings, so that I get the setup I want? Or is it impossible with an ATi card? [/QUOTE]
