I have been using my LCD TV as a dual monitor lately, but now it won't bring up the desktop on the TV. I'm using s-video, and it's worked in the past. I just hook the s-video up from TV port to computer port, go into Display Settings, select the second monitor, and click "extend the desktop onto this monitor." Like I said, it used to work but suddenly it won't. I recently installed SP1 onto Vista and downloaded a NVidia graphics card update. Would this have anything to do with it or am I doing something else wrong?

Oh, and when I move the mouse over to the other side after extending, it disappears like it's supposed to but nothing shows up on the TV.

Help? Thanks much
