Playing video games on secondary display...

[x-StoneSour-x]

Well a couple of days ago, I purchased and ATI X850 XT Platinum Edition PCI-E video card. I have the card fully installed and have it set to exended desktop mode. My primary display is a HP 17" monitor, and my secondary is a Toshiba 20" television. Is there a way to get my games to start on my tv without setting it as my default display?

You should be able to simply switch your TV to be your primary display.

he doesn't want to change which one is primary. i have an x800 with dual monitors, so it should be the same.

you could just set your 20" tv to primary, move your icons on the secondary, drag your taskbar over to it, and use it as if it's primary when it's technically the secondary. that way, your game will run on the tv, and your taskbar and icons will all be on the secondary, but with all the characteristics of the primary.
