Hi,i am trying to use a flatscreen lcd tv/monitor as a second monitor on my laptop(xp),which at first was going fine, i clicked Extend My Windows Desktop Onto This Monitor check box.The desktop appeared on the tv/monitor, i altered the resolution to fit the screen and it was central on the screen, but as i was altering the settings while continuing to set it up and now i cannot get the desktop to sit correctly on the screen.It goes off up to the top right and i cannot get it back again to how it was,that is sitting centrally on the tv/monitor?i have tried altering all the resolutions up and down the scale but no luck.
Can anyone help please?
thankyou.

Hiya, yes tried hundreds of times adding it again.
It is a 21" TV
With a vga cable,straight out the back of the laptop into the tv.

But like i say when i first set it up and messed around with the computer i got it to position correctly, but now it will not,it sits to the top right of the tv screen.
So i know it will work,lol but it just wont go back.

Hi, i want to run a CDG plugin on winamp which plays karaoke text to music, basically you run it on the laptop and just click the box what opens up and drag it across onto the tv screen.I already tried this, it works ok...so i guess this would be a horizontal span not a clone.
Thanks

Hiya,the tv monitor originally shown the desktop picture from the laptop from corner to corner minus icons on the tv screen,this is how i need it,but at the moment the desktop image on the tv screen is sited offset to the top right but on a monitor you can line this up with the x/y buttons but on the tv there is none.
But originally when i first connected it i was messing around with the resolutions in display properties and it came right but i cannot now get this correct setting back and it sits to the top right.
Thx

Hi Trippester, its on another computer of my friends and he does not have internet access on it.
they are both set to 1024 x 768 32 bit color

Hi Trippster, yeps its only on the desktop

Hi Trippster, tried moving it right up to 1600x something and its still in the same position, its really strange no matter what the resolution is it stays in the same offset position ,thx

[andymirasol]
