hello. i have a geforce4 with tv out that's connected to my computer. right now, it's setup so that my tv is an extended monitor. thus, when i play any video clip, the selected one is shown full screen on tv.

however, i would like it so that when i play a game, it will show up full screen on tv. i've had this setting done before but can't get it back on. when i play a game, the computer(primary) monitor shows the game while the desktop shows the windows desktop with the start menu, etc. basically, in this case, i would like both monitors to show the same desktop.help

You need to enable the "Overlay Mirroring" feature so that any 3D or video surface on one screen gets mirrored fullscreen onto the other.

Well, yes. Exactly the same way as it does with two "normal" monitors. The TV-out always is an exact clone of one of the other two.
