i'm new to gaming
compaq pressario 2000, running win XP
trying to use tv as a monitor, was sucessful with s-video cables then
crashed last night, i can't restore the game, that comes up on my laptop, to
the tv??? the closest i can get is a copy of desktop, without any of the icons
 
Provide some useful info.
Crashed how? What did you do to recover?
You may need to change the dual monitor mode to duplicate the laptop screen,
not extend it.
 
How do i change from dual monitor mode to duplicate the laptop screen? To
answer the crash question ,i turned the computer off and when starting up
again, error report came up saying "computer has just recovered from a
serious error" taking my full screen enjoyment with it, thanks David B.
 
Hi sicox66,

You should have that option in your Video Settings:
Right-Click your desktop > Properties > Settings.
