Please log in for more thread options (128 meg ATI Radeon 9800 Pro) to the composite input of my television via the card's svideo port and the svideo to composite adaptor included with the card. After I've done that I can see icons labeled number 1 and number 2 in the Control Panel and can see XP's desktop on my TV. I want to use my TV as a Secondary display so I can change the settings without it affecting my Primary display which is a VGA monitor. When I select the inactive icon labeled number 2 and right click it I get a small menu with the choices of Attached and Properties available and the rest of the choices greyed out. If I choose Attached the the icon becomes active. But when I use the Identify button to see when display is the Primary, a "1" indicting the Primary display flashes on both the VGA monitor and the TV. How do I activate the TV as the Secondary display? Thanks. My system: 3.2 ghz Northwood Pentium 4, Intel 865 PERL motherboard, ATI 9800 Pro video card. 1 gig of dual channel PC3200 ram, Windows XP Service Pack 1. | ||||||||||||||||
