Re: Secondary Monitor



You are now running your secondary monitor in extended desktop mode instead
of in clone mode. You can just drag and drop anyghing from you primary
monitor over to the other other display which is probably on the right or
left of your primary display edge.

I am trying to connect my HP Media Center PC to a second monitor, which is
really my SONY widescreen projection TV. It worked great when I
preliminarily connected it the other day. Today when I connected the DVI
to
HDMI connections (i.e., PC output to TV input) via the same cable as
before
to install it more permanently, the sound was fine but the only picture I
get
is the backgroud Desktop picture. There are no short cut icons on the
desktop and no slies, programs or whatever show up on the TV. I have
changed
every primary and secondary characteristics setting on the screen I can
think
of to change and nothing works. I even tried making the TV the primary
monitor and still nothing but the background picture of Windows or
whatever I
set it to be shows up. It even goes to screen saver after the set time
interval. I can even change the desktop picture but no mouse arrow, icons
or
anything else show up. I have also tried an S-video connection with no
better result. What have I messed up since it worked perfectly the other
day? Please help. Thanks.
