    heyo,

    got a bit of a wierd issue with outputting 2 displays at once.

    1 is over VGA the other is over S-video (which is converted to component).

    i can seem to set up multiple displays in windows or get it to recognise the S-video at all.

    it does display the post screen etc on boot on both displays but when windows starts to load it turns off the S-video.

    im using a 8400 series geforce card with latest drivers.

    anyone any ideas on how to get it to output to S-video only or VGA+S-video would be better

    nvidia control panel it should say something about setting up multiple displays.. in there dualview for TV+Monitor- a svid cable would work better than taking it down to composite

    nvida control panel doesnt recognise the S-video output at all.

    tried to setup multiple displays but nothing happens after i try to activate a second monitor

    yeah it should work.. maybe try a svid cable out to the tv instead of converting it to composite- I use svid on the 260 and it detects and displays

    well the TV its going to doesnt have S-video which is why it was coverted to component.

    i guess i could try a different connection maybe ill take another card and try that too. think ive got a spare one lying around somewhere
