Odd powerbook to HDMI issue

[ptangyang]

Hi

I'm trying to get my laptop to display onto TV via HDMI input. I currently have a mini DVI to DVI converter, followed by DVI to HDMI cable and into the TV. Weirdly it shows the desktop background - minus files on desktop, but nothing else. Can anyone suggest what might be happening?

Many thanks

Yep - you're on an extended desktop. Change your display preference to mirroring if you want an exact replica of your laptop screen.
