DVI-D and RGB

Options
Hi MSE'ers

My computer has a DVI-D (white connector) output and a RGB (blue connector) output. I have my PC monitor plugged in via DVI-D and my TV plugged in via RGB. Do you know how to alternate between outputs? It seems to default to the TV and not my PC monitor. People have told me it is as easy as pressing a key on the keyboard but I havent found one.

Any help much appreciated!

p.s. at the minute to swap I have to unplug one and restart the comp.

    If you right click desktop, properties, settings, there should be two monitors there.

    Disable the one you don't want to use and enable the one you do want to use.

    That's how I'd do it on mine anyway. If you have the software for your card installed there might be a quicker profile change option in the right click menu of the icon in the system tray.
