General video out question

I just bought an nVidia GeForce MX200 with video out. I can get it to push out to the TV out with TwinView turned on, but when I turn off TwinView the computer forgets that the TV exists as a second monitor.

I'm wondering if I can get it to actually run an application ONLY to the TV out... for example, I have a DVD player in my computer, and I want to be able to do other things on my computer while a DVD movie plays to the TV.

Did I get the right card for what I'm wanting to do? Do I need to download another program or driver?

TIA!

Hello,

I am not a master video tech, but my guillemot gf256 mx 200 will only work TV or svga seperately. I have to have my svga unplugged to use my tv and vica versa.

I hope this helps.

I can get the TV to mirror what is coming out on my monitor or act as an "extention" monitor (eg, 1600x600 or 800x1200 resolution), but that's not quite the effect that I'm wanting to get.

Thanks for the reply, though!
