how do i make my plasma TV the primary screen from my laptop?

i have an HP laptop with vista, and an nvidia video card. it allows me to make it a split screen (laptop left screen, plasma right screen), which is fine for applications. but how do i make the plasma the primary screen so i can view/play pc games?
