if the VGA is melting your head you should should beat the VGA cable up.



EDIT: sorry man I thought you were Japman.

[Jacko]

Even so. i already tried that. he is much stronger than youd think...he just coiled up and refused to work for me. bastardo.

Have you set the TV channel to VGA input?

[Barry123]

go to your display setting

desktop > right click > properties


then go to the settings tab

then go to 'advanced' then somewhere in there you should be able to select a second monitor... or 'force TV detection'

safe y0

[Jacko]

this sort of works...but all i have now is my desktop backround on my tele...

[Jacko]

actually it does work but not really how i want to...i have to drag any thing i want to see on my tv from the laptop screen to my tv screen. not sure how to make the tele the primary screen.

[hellonpluto]

you need to make the tv the primary monitor

FN + F5 on the laptop switches to the VGA port and will display on both screens. Its normally FN and F5 but could also be FN + F8 (normally the F key as a lil pic of a monitor on it)

Using this method will show same screen on both laptop and tv.

^ as what Daryl said.

[Jacko]

hit the leters 'f' and 'n' at the same time as F5/F8?

no FN meaning "Fn" function key.

[Jacko]

i have no idea what the function key is.

edit. just seen it...

[Karl]

;)

now look for an F1-F12 key that has a tiny picture of a monitor or whatever. see if this helps :)

[Jacko]

F12 has a monitor...i hit it...it worked.

i love you guys.

[Jacko]

one more thing.

how to i make the font smaller on the internet? as a single sax-p post is curently filling my screen.

[Karl]

you can change your resolution, by ...

right clicking your desktop,
properties,
settings..

Bam change it to a bigger resolution

*be warned though, your tv will not support uber good res most likely*

........or
in internet explorer,
view,
text size,
smaller.

[Jacko]
