I just got Call of Duty 4 for my Imac. i have a 34" flatscreen hooked up as a secondary screen. when i start the game, it automatically blacks out the secondary screen (34") and uses the imac screen.


question is, how do i get it so i can play it on the flatscreen? is it possible?

System Preferences - Displays - Appearance tab

Drag the white bar (represents the menu bar) in the pic representing your screens to the other one. This will make it the primary display while it is connected.

Probably turn off Mirroring if you have that checked also - same tab.

I'd sure like to know how COD4 runs on your machine and which model you have. Was just looking at trying that this last weekend, but not sure how it'll run on this 3 yr old MBP. Think the X1600 w/256MB I have is below the minimum requirements they suggest.
