Re: Component output not working?

I mean hitting the reset switch on the computer. Other thing I noticed, is
my PC in XP has three outputs. DVI with my LCD on it, a second DVI (unused)
and the component outs. Vista only showing 2 options, and it doesn't really
say "which" they are..

Somehow this got posted multiple times, sorry for that, btw - When I was
clicking submit, it kept saying there was an error and to try later. Seems
they worked after all..

Got a suggestion to try booting up with the TV ONLY (LCD off), so I'll try
that tonight and report back. If anyone else has had this problem, OR, if
you have it working fine, lemme know!
