I'm having problems with setting up my video card. It's PNY Verto geforce 8600gt. I want to use one LCD monitor and TV but when I drag video playback to second display (tv) it's all black. Everything else it's fine just no video. I want to use for watching dvd movies but as of now i get nothing.

thanks

As far as I can remember, you can only draw video on the primary monitor - so make the second screen primary.

Well the problem is that second monitor it's my TV so it's not really possible to have tv as primary display. Meaning that Most of the time I spent doing regular stuff and tv it's not needed, only when I'm trying to watch dvd I would like to have tv involved.

I just can't imagine that my card 8600GT can't handle this simple task.

Thanks

There must be a way of doing it, but I've not found one, and a google has come up empty. Hopefully someone else can contribute a method.
