Svideo Out Trouble shooting

[T22 4me]

I am trying to hook my T40p to my Plasma TV for to play WGT Golf.

Problem: my background shows up on the TV;but, no curser or icons and no windows.

Basically trying to use the TV as a BIG monitor

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance


Laptop is a T40p w/2g ram & ATI Fire GL 9000 64mb vram running XP svc pack 3

Are there any settings on your TV's menu that need altering?

Sounds like its gone into dual screen instead of clone.

Try wizzing your mouse to the edges of the screen (all edges just to be sure) and see if it appears on the tv.

If it does, then de-maximise the window you want on the tv, drag it across and then maximise it.

yes you have it setup to Extend Desktop. set it to clone. if you move your cursor past the right corner of the screen you should see it pop up on the TV.

also you should set your overlay to pop up on the second monitor (TV)
