Re: Vista Media Center will not allow me to set up TV tuner



Also read the PC chapter of your Samsung manual to be sure that the resolution (of your laptop) that you are trying to send to the TV is one that it will accept over VGA. Many newer widescreen laptops have 16:10 aspect ratio screens and resolutions which your TV may not accept.

I too have Windows Vista Home Premium and I am trying to connect to my
Samsung HDTV via a male to male VGA lead. I have tried pressing Fn F5 but the
pc monitor goes blank but doesn't seem to be sending a signal to the TV, is
there something I need to do on my laptop or TV?
Any help much appreciated

I have a ATI TV Wonder 650 pci card. The card worked fine with Xp with ATI's
software, but when I try to setup Media Center under Vista it will not allow
me to set up the card. I have the card connected via the composite
connections of the 650 card. During set-up I get to the place where I get an
message that "IR Hardware not detected" and the installation will no longer
continue. I can see a picture in the set-up window. But the setup program
will not let continue past this point. I have tried different setup
configurations, but none allow me to use the composite connection from the
ATI card without having the "IR hardware."

Any help would greatly appreciated.
