Windows 7 multiple monitors

[jimlau]

I have a flat screen monitor that is connected via the DVI port. I also have an HDTV, where my computer connects to it via an HDMI cable. I notice they can't work simultaneously.

is there a software solution to be able to switch between the 2, perhaps by disabling something?

thanks

If you press Win+P you can select "extend". Have you tried that?
