Query RE: connection of PC to TV via S-video

[Kunal]

Right,

I have my PC constantly connected via S-video cable to my Television, and watch all my media file on TV. Now I know that you can split your screen between the two, so that it is extended and you can do one thing on the monitor and a different thing on the TV. However, when I maximise the program I'm using to watch video files (either WMP or Winamp) to fill the TV screen, it interferes with what I'm doing on the monitor. Also, whenever I want to play a game, it won't let me effectively watch my video files and play games simultaneously. Now I'm not sure if it's possible, but is there a way around this??

Thanks,

K
