I have had a HTPC for a couple years now.
I have had it hooked up to my 42"lcd via DVI to HDMI cable.
I recently upgraded my desktop rig to a 24" lcd.....so i decided to hook up my older 22" lcd as a second monitor on my HTPC rig.

I have it plugged into my secondary DVI port on the radeon 4670 that is in my HTPC.....windows 7

I figured i would run a photo slide show as a screensaver on my 22"....when not using my HTPC......problem is.....when the photo slideshow plays....it only plays on my 22' monitor.....which is fine......but it will not fill the screen....it displays the whole picture.....but only on about 60% of the screen.

I have the resolution set to 1360X768 on the 42" TV....and 1680X1050 for the 22"lcd

Could someone please help me?

Isn't the 42" 1080p? Setting it accordingly should solve that. Even if it's 720p, it should be at 1280x720.

FYI...many 720p televisions have an odd resolution of 1360X768.

That's right. IF the same computer is hosting the screen, one of the screens are going to be neutered. 720p will suffer until you find how to have different screen savers for different screens.

I just found better pictures that fit both over fiddling with res's.
