I'm using a Club3D 6200LE graphics card
1GB RAM
G-Force Platinum
Windows XP Pro
1 Monitor is an Iiyama LS902UT running at 1600x1200 connected via VGA
2nd Monitor is an LG 32LC51 (HDTV) running at 1360x768 connected via DVI(DVI>HDMI cable)
Configured in Dualview via the nVidia Control Panel
When I run G-Force on my first monitor(wether in WMP11 or standalone) it works fine.
But when I drag the G-Force window(or WMP window) to my TV, the image freezes(no movement "Restart slidshow" doesn't work).
I tried setting my TV as the primary windows monitor, but that doesn't help either.
When I try to put the "frozen" screen fullscreen on the TV, it changes into a transparent window(I can see icons on the desktop through it, but can't click them.
The built in visualisations in WMP11 work fine on my TV, so I'm guessing the issue is within G-Force...
What's going on?
How can I fix this?
G-Force not working on secondary monitor

I'm running GF on my HDtv thru my GeForce 7600 GS at 1920x1080 and it works fine.
have you updated to the most recent GF?
make sure that the resolutions for GF full screen and your TV match.
are you using the standalone or plugin?
this is my suggestion. open GF standalone in windowed mode drag it to your tv so that you can still see the left side of the GF window , then hit the M key to see what resolution GF is currently set to if it doesnt match your TV press the M key until you see the matching res. once you set this open the tool bar and click visualization prefs set the both frame hights to no limit and then on the right side set the fullscreen res to match your tv .
then drag the window all the way onto your tv and hit fullscreen if that doesnt work,
then I would look to nvidia. the first time I hooked up my HDTV I had a bitch of a time getting the settings right so I gave up. A while later I decided to visit the nvidia web site and update my drivers. After that I was able to set up my HDTV without problem.
maybe its a memeory thing?
make sure you dont have a bunch of unneccesary programs running in the background while using GF as this can cause a lag in rendering.

I have GeForce 3.7.5
I just noticed that Geforce in plugin mode(in WMP at least) won't accept any sound, no movement(just when changing waveshapes etc), even when I select the High Energy sound generator.
But that's not the issue right now...
I tried your suggestion:
Opened an mp3 file in WMP11
Opened G-Force standalone, sound source was set automatically to the Stereo wave mix of my soundcard.
Dragged half of the screen to my HDTV.
Pressed 'M' until "1360x768" came on screen.
Checked the settings in the toolbar:
Full screen reso was set to 1360x768 and frame limit(both h and v) are set to "no limit"
I then dragged the whole screen to my TV, but it "freezes" again, when it's on half the screen, only the part on my primary PC monitor moves.
When I drag the whole screen, and go fullscreen, the window seems to dissapear, but the whole thing just becomes transparent(I can't click the icons underneath, but I can see them)
Updated the drivers of my videocard(from ForceWare 163.something to the newest, 169.21), restarted my system, but no avail...
Are the any other settings that I can check?
May I note that video works perfect on the TV(via the PC), I can play games on it, 3D is no problem on it.
I check the DirectX(maybe a DirectDraw problem), ran the test(start>run>dxdiag: DirectDraw test), went perfectly.
I have no idea what the problem may be....
