Dual display setup help
Hello all,
I have been using my HTPC box mostly for DVR, Media Center, and a few games. It is connected to my 47" LCD TV, as the main and only monitor. I have decided to add a second, smaller 17" monitor to view system temps, and processor usage, and every day tasks that are difficult to see from the couch on the 47" LCD TV. I would like to use the 17" as the "main" monitor with desktop icons, task bar, etc. and the 47" to watch movies, Media Center, and the few games I play. I am able to drag MC to the 47" full screen, as well as Arcsoft Total Media Player, but when I launch a game, it is on the 17". I have tried switching "main monitor" to the 47" and dragging the task bar to the 17", but some apps have pop ups that appear on the 47". This dual monitor thing is new to me, but I know I will get more use of my box. I have tried searching the net, but you all know how that goes. Thanks for any help. I have system specs.
