hey peeps, im new here so please b gentle :)

right, basically, i had 2 screens set up, main is a 17" lcd monitor and 2nd is a 40" samsung hdtv connected thru s video.
i use 2nd display when i watch films on my pc as its better thru tv, but when i wasnt watching films i would set it back to just single display as it annoyed me when the pointer would get lost off screen on the 2nd display.
it worked fine for ages then 1 day i tryed enabling 2nd display and it just wouldnt work, doesnt even reconise it, ive tryed disconecting and reconecting wires etc, i can only think maybe an update or something triggered it??

any advice would b greatly apprieciated

thanks

I'm going to ask a few questions to help get acquainted with the issue and your hardware;

1: What OS are you running?
2: Do you know what make/model video card you have?
3: Does your video card have a DVI (White, rectangular connector) output?
4: How many outputs does your video card have in total?
 
hey there, thanks.
well:

1: vista home premium
2: how do i find this out?
3:yes it has DVI
4:3 in total, CRT(monitor), S-VIDEO(tv) and a DVI

thanks
