723862 2008-11-28 05:20:00 The new card is an ASUS Eah3450, the old is an ATI RADEON Xpress 200. Yes I have my tv connected to the new, ASUS, card via hdmi. And yes I have installed the driver jbmcgee (14369)
723863 2008-11-28 05:22:00 yes, my monitor is plugged into the same port as usual, it isn't in the new card's port. jbmcgee (14369)
723864 2008-11-28 05:22:00 "when you say "cant get anything on the tv except a fixed picture of my desktop pic" do you mean you can see your computers background pic on the TV screen?

Sorry I might have added this question as an edit while you were posting, but it would help to know.

723865 2008-11-28 05:28:00 Yes, I can see two boxes in the display prop - settings and one is greyed out. My tv displays what is on my desktop (the background pic and now, the icons) but it doesnt show anything else I bring up, i.e. media player. jbmcgee (14369)
723866 2008-11-28 05:30:00 excellent thank you.

Can you right click on the box thats greyed out and hit connected (sorry going from memory here not near an XP box at the mo)

723867 2008-11-28 05:32:00 I have the choices of "attached" and "properties", two additional choices "primary, identify" are not able to be used. jbmcgee (14369)
723868 2008-11-28 05:35:00 attached is the one you want :) kersonan (13264)
723869 2008-11-28 05:36:00 ok, it isnt greyed-out anymore jbmcgee (14369)
723870 2008-11-28 05:42:00 ok time to setup some dual screen action

If you hit "Identfy" now you should see big white numbers on each screen, these match the boxes you are seeing in the settings tab

if your sitting at your pc and the tv is to your left and its screen "2" then click and drag its box "2" and drop it to the left of the box marked "1" in your settings tab

click "apply" then "ok"

You should now be able to drag stuff from one your monitor off the left hand side of the screen and see it appear on the tv.

723871 2008-11-28 05:48:00 Now, "identify" wont work. Another issue is that my tv is in another room, I got a 50ft hdmi cable. jbmcgee (14369)
