When the system comes up I get the desktop. I was able to find a way to get
to the display settings and laptop is the only display there and there is
no way to turn it off.
Just to be clear I am using a 42" Hidef LCD Sanyo TV through one of the
HDMI ports.
When you see the screen on the left you see icons for Home, DVD, Attached
USB Hard Drive but these are cut down by 50%. I can see ome of Home if you
understand.
What I don't see is the top menu bar where the close,minimize and maximize
sits or even the button at the far upper right that you can open the drop
down menu for logout and shutdown. It is there because if I move the mouse
up that way and slowly to the right I can get it to open at times. Like
reaching in the dark.
All I want to do is shrink all of that down so it fits on the screen. I
have a ton of resolutions available in the Display settings app but none
of them help. All they do is make what I see smaller or larger. I also
tried to change the settigs on the TV's (Sanyo)menu but all that does is
make the entire screen smaller or larger and I still see half of the icons.
I am going to try everyone's suggestion as I want this to work as it was to
be my media center besides a pc for my Granddaughter to use
