So, I have my computer connected to my TV and the TV is an extended desktop… so it just shows my wallpaper and that's it. What I want to do is play super nintendo games on the TV using my laptop, but when I launch the program it just shows up on my laptop screen. Is there some kind of program I can get that will tell my computer to run the game on the extra desktop instead of my laptop screen? I can't move the window over there either, it just stops at the edge of my laptop's screen.
Thanks for any help

Somewhere your 'extended' screen joins your laptop screen. Drag the window around the edge of your laptop screen 'til it appears on your TV…

Have you 'Attached' it? Desktop-[HTML_REMOVED]properties-[HTML_REMOVED]settings. Click on the second 'monitor' at the top of the screen, right-click and attach. Then you should be able to drag over to it.

I tried the attach button but it still didn't work, though I can move windows over there now. BUT
I figured it out, you jsut have to set the TV as your primary monitor and you're good to go.

Got my beer, a couple doobs, and a translated Secret of Mana 2. Oh yeaaaaa!
Thanks guys!
