I have a client recently purchased nvidia geforce4 to connect to a tv to show product demo in their shop outlet. They have another vga card connect to a monitor to so POS transaction at the cashier. How do I configure the nvidia so that it can play movie on the TV? I tried to use dual view and I can drag my media player to the tv screen and play a movie while on the monitor itself running POS no problem. However when I view the movie in the TV in full screen mode, the movie is display on the monitor, leaving only the windows media player frame in the TV. How do I show the movie with full screen mode on the TV without seeing windows media player menu bar and the POS system on monitor?
 
make sure you have the newest video drivers, next, you select in the prperties menu of your video card wich monitor is the primary output, try to switch thos, that should do the trick ;)
 
I am using the lastest driver now. I have tried setting the tv as the primary output before. Although this one work for the solution which the movie will be in full mode in the tv, all my other desktop icons now will go to the tv too. this make things difficult as the tv is not at the same place as the monitor. As such, whenever the pc is rebooted, i won't know when can i start to log in and run my POS application as i cannot see anything on my monitor, and this make the operation on the POS system difficult.
