Phil,
If you are seeing your entire desktop, taskbars,shortcuts and all, you are in clone mode. In extended desktop mode, all you should see on the tv is the wallpaper.

I don't know how different your card is from the ATI Radeon 7500 I'm using but here's the procedure to get started on the right track with the 7500.

Click the ATI shortcut
Click "Help"
Click ATI Desktop
Type in "Extended Desktop"
Click "Select Extended Desktop Mode"

Follow the directions from that point on.

Hope yours is somewhat enough similar to be able to get there this way.

Take care,

George

P.S. if it should turn out a new video card is in order, make certain to get "made by ATI" rather than "Powered by ATI". It appears from all the discussion the "POWERED" variety are generics and may not always perform.
