ive tried 1024 x 768 wich is how i ran it in xp, ive tried 800 x 600, to no avail. i hooked up my projector and it does the same thing. only happens when running a game. movies and everything else works fine. i think the refresh rate is at 65, not 100% on that, im at work, and i know the tv is capable of 1024 x 768 .
thanks

try configuring them indepently.. sounds like your games are set to a higher res than your monitor can support.

DUal monitors of different resolution is a piece of cake in vista, hell i added a 2nd monitor, turned on the pc and it was off and running essentially on it own. lol
