Have you made sure your pc is outputing to 2 monitors, it won't do that automatically and selected the correct input on the tv ?

Right click on your desktop and select Properties.

Click on the Settings tab at the top

There should be a picture of 2 monitors. Select the second monitor and enable it. You can then change the resolution, etc., of the second monitor.

No.

If you explain how your PC is connected, via which cables etc, we'll be able to help.

if you know your graphics card make and model I'd suggest checking their website for the lastest drives and install them. In general gives beter performance, might also replace the missing .dll

You could try here:-

I did a quick google and found the above - I cant vouch for the site.

Does your TV not have a VGA input (same plug as for your monitor)? If so, it's much easier - just plug the cable in and use the settings I mentioned.

If you connect with S-Video, you need to set your computer to output to TV. If you connect with a VGA cable, the computer sees the TV as a monitor so it's easier and will work (since it's already using a monitor). You will also get better resolution using the VGA cable over the S-Video.

so basically instead of pc connected to monitor put that cable in the tv if it has the same bit?
