Graphics Question
I'm using my Aurora R3 with a AMD 6870 GPU on the extended mode with my 20" lcd monitor and my 42" HDTV. I have been using this format to work on the lcd while watching movies on the HDTV. For the first time, I downloaded Steam to see if I would like that gaming platform. I downloaded the free Microsoft Flight Simulator application and all went fine. However, when I open Flight Simulator, the game only plays on my lcd. I can't drag it to the HDTV like I can with movies. How do I set the R3 and/or GPU to open the game on the HDTV, or allow me to drag it there? Thanks for any help.

The best way to do that would be by using the eyefinity.

I don't think eyefinity is what I'm looking for. I don't want to combine my lcd and hdtv , I want to play game on HDTV and use lcd for other applications. The extend option has worked fine for other applications but for some reason I can't drag this Flight Simulator to the HDTV, it only plays on the lcd.

Eyefinity still gives you the option of using your LCD for something else. For eg there are some ppl whop have 3 monitors running eyefinity but they have a 4th lcd above the central screen running other programs.
im 99% sure on that lol

Does anyone know where I can find instructions to accomplish this. All I have been able to do is extend my desktop to include my lcd and hdtv. It works fine but for some reason the Microsoft Flight Simulator will only open on the lcd and I can't figure out how to move it to the hdtv.
