playing video will not appear on secondary monitor

[alicespig]

With 2 different computers, Toshiba Laptop and E-Machines AMD one with nVidia and One with ATI I cannot get the video on the secondary monitor playing a video. All CDG songs appear perfectly. I would appreciate any help. I suspect I need to change a setting in the computers but don't know which.

The directions for this are in the manual but they are not very clear.

This is how you do it.
1 Play a cdg song that is full screen on your TV then double click it to bring it back to your monitor.
2 Once it is back on your monitor, stretch it to fill your monitor screen, and then grab it with your mouse and slide it back to the TV
3 Once the resized screen is back on your TV do whatever stretching that still needs to be done to fill the TV
4 Once it is resized on your TV as much as you can get or to your satisfaction, double click it once again to make it "full screen" again.

Now when you play a cdg song it will be full screen on the TV and when you play a video it will appear to be full screen although actualy it will be the resized screen.

BTW even though you've stretched it to entirely cover the TV often times a video will cause it to shrink up a little bit showing a small border around it.
To the best of my knowledge you can't get around that, but it will only effect your videos.

Also BTW you can stretch a video screen but you can't move it with your mouse which is why you need to do this with a cdg song playing.

Hopefully my directions aren't to confusing.
