    Hi guys. When I'm connecting my Studio to the Samsung HD TV with HDMI connection using an extended desktop mode then a game I'm trying to play is opened by default on the laptop's screen and since it can't be dragged then I can't play it on the TV. Is that solvable?
    Thanks for any ideas!

    Under your display settings, check your TV to act as the primary screen.
