Games displaying on wrong screen! Help!

I have two monitors, well a 1080p monitor as my manin monitor and a dynex 720p TV as my second monitor. My monitor is hooked up by DVI and the TV is hooked up with HDMI. My main monitor i have it checked as my main display under screen resolution in control panel. Yet for some reason it is marked as the second screen. And some games like Day Z and Rising Sun are launching under the #1 screen. Which is the TV, but it displays under my main monitor which is the 1080p one. I cant change the resoultion to 1080p because it thinks its under the TV. Also when i hit identify on the 1080p monitor which is the #2 monitor, it puts the 2 on the TV and vise versa. So idk what to change in order to get the #1 monitor my 1080p one and the #2 monitor the TV. Thanks.

If you're using a NVIDIA card, you can go into the NVIDIA control panel by right clicking on your desktop.  If you have AMD you can pretty much do the same thing.

 

What operating System are you running?

 

Basically, make sure that you have the TV set as the default monitor through there.  

 

Also, I know in some games you can set the display (or amount of displays) that the game outputs too. 

 

For example in Black Ops 2, you can set it to display on Monitor 2 instead of 1.
