I'm running a duel boot system with no problems Win Xp and Win 7. I have a Radeon HD6450 graphics card with HDMI outlet and quiet happily watch films on my Plasma Tv from my hard drive whilst in XP. However, when I go over to win7 all I get on the Tv is my desktop with no Icons, no nothing!!!! although the film or whatever is playing quiet happily on my computer screen.. Any help with the problem would be nice. Perhaps I'm missing something here???

As Aye,

Phil.

I have Win7 (only). When I watch an on-line program on my TV, I need to hit [Windows Flag]+P and select the destination. I usually hit Duplicate to get the signal on both the PC and the TV, than turn off the PC monitor.

Perhaps that will help.

It sounds like your graphics have been set up as dual screen in Win7, and the TV has been set as screen 2. Try checking your graphics settings in Win 7 and setting the output to clone. Good luck.
