813515 2009-09-24 22:49:00 help please!
was exploring nividia settings and changed display ( i think) to TV. my monitor went black and now i cant change it back. i was getting a thing up about checking cables and something else but cant even get that now. how do i change it... or more importantly how do i get to see anything at all on my screen so i can change it??
Have rebooted but that didnt help.
dont know what version of nividia i have as i cant see anything.
using XP

813516 2009-09-24 23:03:00 Turn the tv on, it should show up there. Then change it back to the monitor, in the nvidia control panel / whatever it is Speedy Gonzales (78)
813517 2009-09-24 23:16:00 thanx Speedy...but pc not hooked up to tv..so now what?? shione83 (7126)
813518 2009-09-24 23:17:00 Well, you'll have to hook it up (somehow). Since you changed it to the TV. Thats probably the only way you're going to fix it. Or boot into safe mode. And see if you can change it back to the monitor that way Speedy Gonzales (78)
813519 2009-09-24 23:19:00 and how do i boot into safe mode if i cant see anything please? had to switch pc off at wall to shut it down shione83 (7126)
813520 2009-09-24 23:22:00 Well you'll have to find a connection to connect to the TV then. If you cant see anything Speedy Gonzales (78)
813521 2009-09-25 01:13:00 can u point me in the direction for instructions to do this please? looks like its my only option shione83 (7126)
813522 2009-09-25 01:38:00 Look on the back of the videocard. You'll have to get a connection / svideo cable exactly the same.. And RCA cables at the other end (hopefully your TV has video in / out plugs on it). Or else you cant do anything Speedy Gonzales (78)
813523 2009-09-25 01:41:00 When you boot the computer do you get white writing on a black screen to start with? Also do you have a green power light on the monitor? Sweep (90)
813524 2009-09-25 02:07:00 thanx guys ..got it sorted.... managed to get into safe mode using xp disk.... took a few tries but got it finally.... no more fiddling with settings for me for a while lol shione83 (7126)
