Go to Start/settings/control panel/display properties/settings/advanced, pick the displays tab and select clone for the TV--that's the button that has the circle with a dot in the middle, then apply that and go to the overlay tab and pick "theater mode". =20 =20 "willy" wrote in message ...

My apologies--in my previous post I said the clone button was the one
with a circle and a dot--that's the one for primary--the clone is the one with overlapping boxes. I think I need more caffeine.

Thanks for the replies, but ATI's clone feature is my problem. With the
primary display set at 1280x1024 I get a virtually desktop on the TV, which I don't want or need. What I'm looking for is cloning of a overlay only. With dScaler the TV display is not full screen because of the way the desktop is cloned to 1280x1024 to the TV. No such problem with nVidia software as there is a clone overlay setting. I'm reasonably sure that ATI or someone can add this control to the TV out features. This leaves you with a display to the TV only when a overlay is active, TV tuner, DVD and desktop to the primary display only. "J.Clarke" wrote in message ...

a TVTool type program for ATI cards would be wonderful. Those who say its
not needed with ATI cards I don't think ever used it. You can do almost the same thing with an N card as an ATI with going into Display panel etc but its a hassle. TVTool simply cuts out haveing to do all the extra steps for Nvidia users. When its running in the tray you hit F1 and boom TVOut is on F3 its back to computer etc. In otherwords very handy shortcut without all the extra hassle of digging thru display panels to get to the settings you need to switch displays. Since one of my boxes still uses a Nvidia card I still use TVtool with it and it was the best $12 for a useful utility I ever spent. "J.Clarke" wrote in message ...

This leaves you with a display to the TV only when a overlay is active, TV tuner, DVD and desktop to the primary display only. Just to be clear, what you want to do is blank the TV unless it is being accessed by the overlay? If so, you might want to go over to http://www.rage3d.org and ask on one of their forums as well.

U don't need TvTool like program with ATI cards I couldn't get TV-Out to work on my old GF3 without it and I can't get TV-Out to work with my new 9600 Pro at all, so I kind of wish there was at least something like this to try. -- Can I trade my happiness for some money? Steve [Inglo] |

Hotkey settings in the ATI drivers tv-out section will do what you
