I am having a bit of a problem. I was trying to configure my Nvidia 9800 card to play on my tv. After trying different configs trying to get thye TV to come up, I set the primary to be the TV and then set the flat panel monmitors to play as the secondary. Somehow I have placed all of the controls on the TV screen ( I think) and it's not playing anything. When I click on the Nvidia icon to change things back it comes up but off of the screen(maybe on the TV) and I can't drag it over onto the monitor screen. If I click on Internet Explorer it comes up off of the monitor too as do all of the programs when I click on them to bring them up. I tried rebooting... no good. I tried Safe mode... the video card icon doesn't open when I click on it and it won't open in the comntgrol panel either.... Any suggestions?

Had the same issue some years ago - fortunately i could get a seeable display by switching the two displays (and maybe reeboot as some displays can tell the PC what they are) - if you have not tried - I hope it works for you too.
