AVS on 2 monitors
I have a big problem
I want visualize my AVS in fullscreen on my TV and on my monitor just winamp and other programs.
Is it possible?

I'd like use the mode "overlay" to put the avs on the desktop.
Is it possible to choose the screen? (monitor or TV)

Thank and sorry for English

usually when using tv-out, the overlay will get displayed on the tv then, dont know if it still runs on the background of your desktop then

In my experiance, using an ATI video card, the overlay signal always, and only, goes to the primary display. You might have to set you TV up at your primary display, then move everything over you you secondary display (monitor or whatever), then run AVS in desktop mode.

I have a nvidia graphic card and it works like Jaheckelsafar said, you have to set your TV as the primary display device then the overlay goes to your TV...:D

What also works on my geforce 2MX is you have a tv-out and a tv connected, you can go into the display settings\advanced\overlay menu there is a button for more overlay settings.
There you can select where every video-overlay you create goes. You select secondary display device (which is your TV) + let driver resize window (or something like that) and then every overlay-window you open gets displayed on the TV.
Works fine for me and you can still work on your monitor...

Totally off topic:

Today I got a *FREE* ATI Radeon 9000 PRO.

:D

AVS in the TV is OK.
But I have a 2nd problem:
I have set my TV up at my primary and my monitor in extend mode and I have just the half of my AVS on my TV.

Try setting TV and monitor to the same resolution.

What kind of card + driver do you have?
If you have some Geforce MX or one with TV-out then try to use the TV a second output and in the "display_settings/"advanced"BUTTON/"overlay"TAB/"advanced"BUTTON" dialog select the option to put all video overlays to secondary display (the TV) and enable the "let driver resize window" option.
That way your display (monitor) can have ANY resolution and the TV will still have whatever video-output-window on it at the full size of the window...

Some other cards/drivers may not be able to have different sizes in the primary and secondary display, so you need to resize the display accordingly...
