    Hi guys, quick question.

    I went to connect my m11x to my tv (via hdmi) in order to play DC Universe on the big screen. But when I click into the game, it goes black and then minimizes back to the desktop. It worked the first time I did it, but now it keeps going back to the desktop.

    Anyone know how i can resolve this? Might be something to do with the properties or something?

    Thanks in advance!

    Click into the game? Sounds like you are running it in a window?

    Not played DCU but I would suggest:
    - Make the TV the only & primary display
    - Run the game in full screen mode
    - If game lets you choose the screen make sure this is set to be the TV
