Dual Monitors

by ikjadoon Dec 19, 2005 3:18AM PST

I have a old monitor/TV that happens the blue 15 pin montior input. I also have a SyncMaster 172T which I use as a Monitor. The Syncmaster is connected to my GeForce 4 via DVI, and the old tv is connected via the 15 pin. The TV doesn't get the computer at all. My main monitor doesn't even see the tv, saying I only have one display. I also am wondering, can I make them like "cloned" copies, rather than streching the desktop to two monitors, so they display the same image? Do I need specific drivers?

I had to restart the computer because of a frozen app and the weirdest thing happend. The computer booted up ON THE TV!! Then, after the windows loading screen it switched to the Syncmaster. The tv then said no signal.
