I'm convinced what I want to happen is possible, but no matter how much tweaking I do I can't ever seem to get it right.
I've got a Nividia Geforce 5500 card. Running in dualview, I want to be able to spark up mediaplayer/powerdvd and the video play in full screen on the TV but in windowed format on the monitor.
Ideally I'd like to collapse the monitor's window completely, but when I do this the video hangs on the TV, even tho the sound continues.
Also windows (mainly dialogs) keep popping into the TV display when I open them, and I want them to only appear on my monitor.
Other times, the video plays full screen on the monitor and makes the TV what I presume is the primary display. It can be the case that if the TV is not the primary display then videos won't play AT ALL (!) on the TV, but run in the mediaplayer window.
I'm really struggling to get this to happen all at once, I seem to have to compromise on one aspect or the other, but my system must be able to handle it because I did, at one time (though I have no idea what I did), have this happen on a P3 with a Geforce 440MX, so my P4 should be able to eat this up. I'm running all the latest drivers, so it's a case of fiddling with the settings, but I'm going round in circles.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
