I am running Windows 7 - (64 bit system)
When I right click on the desktop, Graphic Options
shows up, then Output To, with the following choices
Monitor
Digital Television
Clone Displays - Monitor + Digital Television
- Digital Television + Monitor
(Clone Displays currently has a check mark beside it as well as
Monitor + Digital Television) is this correct
Extended Desktop - Monitor + Digital Television
- Digital Television + Monitor
I tried putting a check mark beside another option
and the computer monitor went completley blank
I have the computer connected to the TV using a
DVI to HDMI cable (DVI is plugged into computer)
When I play a movie on the computer I can watch
it on the TV, however, I cannot control the size
of the video image on the TV, it is the same size as
on the computer.
So I went to Control Panel, Appearance and Personaliztion
then Adjust Screen Resolution, which lists the following :
Display Box Shows : 1/2 Multiple Monitors, nothing else appears here, the TV does not appear here.
Resolution : 1920 x 1080 (recommended)
Orientation : Landscape
Multiple Displays : Duplicate These Displays (appears in the option window)
Extend These Displays
Show Desktop Only On 1
Show Desktop Only On 1
The Video Card Driver has been updated
I am cannot figure out what choices I should choose, so that
I can change the size of the video being shown on the TV, I thought
I would be able to do this under Adjust Screen Resolution, then find
TV option listed in the Display Box Shows
Any suggestions, greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Joan

When running in clone mode the TV resolution will be the same as your monitor, you can adjust the resolution for the TV in extended desktop mode.

when I choose Extend Desktop, Monitor + Digital Television,
the movie plays on the computer monitor, but. on the TV
all I get is a picture of the computer desktop without any of the icons
that are on the computer desktop. No movie at all
Any other suggestions
Thanks, Joan -
Drag your media player to the extended desktop(TV).

I tried dragging WMP as outlilned in the www.ehow.com link, but nothing happened
TV is #2 and shown as the main display
Anything else I can try
thanks Joan -
Make sure you drag WMP off the correct edge of the main monitor. Or change the orientation of the two monitors in the graphics card's setup applet to match their physical locations. Drag/drop the monitors around:
Here the second monitor is to the right of the main monitor so you would drag WMP off the right edge of monitor 1 to get it to monitor 2.
