| 883535 | 2010-05-10 02:20:00 | I wish to run my PC and have my TV as a 2nd multiple display (each screen showing the same) I used the NVIDA control panel and under "Setup multiple displays" to try and achive this. I set my PC as the number 1 display and the TV and the number 2 display. My PC screen is fine but all I get on the TV screen is a view of my Vista wallpaper (full screen) When I reverse the displays (PC as number 2 and TV as number 1) the TV displays fine but my PC display only shows the full screen Vista wallpaper. My O.S. is Vista. I have a GeForce 8800 GTS graphics card. I have tried reinstalling my GeForce drivers but the result is the same. What am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated |

| 883537 | 2010-05-10 02:58:00 | You're probably using the "Expand my desktop..." option when you don't want to be. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 883538 | 2010-05-10 03:03:00 | Probably you want clone mode. | KarameaDave (15222) | ||

| 883542 | 2010-05-10 04:09:00 | Does that card support TV out through VGA? If not then you won't get it working. |

| 883543 | 2010-05-10 04:38:00 | the card does not have tv out built in. the cord has the tv out bit. the card does support tv's tho as their are options. i cant get it to work. i have the cord connected from the dvi port with a vga connecter to the av input on my tv. i mite need to restart the pc. my laptop has built in tv out and that works | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 883544 | 2010-05-10 04:54:00 | Does the card have a VGA port? Try it, but as I said earlier, if the card doesn't support TV out through VGA the adapter will not work, you would need a VGA to TV converter. Similar to this www.trademe.co.nz For a more detailed explanation as to why the signal needs converting you could read this www.epanorama.net |
