Hi, I just saw this, and remembered I had more cables in the box my Mobo came in and figured I'd find what I need in there~ so I hooked this dual sided svideo cable (Each end had PRONGS) into my TV, then into another cable that had red/green/blue connectors (unused) and an svideo connection that was the same as on my TV~ But at the other end of the 2nd cable (With R/G/B) it said "HD Comp.Out" and was red... I didn't expect it to plug into my video card as I figured I'd find another SVideo connenection - but lo and behold I got it to go in.

So I went to my NVidia Control Panel~ and went to Display / Change Display Configuration - and I told it (as I read in this forum) Use the Same on both Displays (Clone)

and then selected "Select displays you would like to use" and told it - Sceptre X9wG-NavaV (My monitor) + TV

then I told it my "Primary display for windows" - My monitor.

Hit the TV/Video switch on my TV A few times, and wallah! SVideo!

But it doesn't fit on my TV, I run 1440x900 on my widescreen monitor, and my TV is square~

it doesn't fit top to bottom OR left to right, when I move my mouse, it scrolls side to side on the TV, but defeats the purpose of a good copy...

How do I get it to display properly on my TV?
