| Vista Home Premium 32bit. | How to clone the desktop Had a computer running XP with a Nvida GeForce4 MX 440 video card installed. I could clone the desktop to our big screen TV. Worked great. I now have a new computer running Vista home. I installed the same card in the new computer. I click on the desktop, click on personalize, then display. The only option I now have is to extend the desktop to the TV. What do I need to do in order to clone the desktop?? Is it possible with Vista and this card?? Thanks for any and all help!! |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit. | Re: How to clone the desktop Yes that is correct. What ever I see on the monitor I want the same thing on the TV. We use it for presentations at our computer club. It worked great with XP. But on the new computer running Vista Home Premium it will not work (yet). |

| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: How to clone the desktop well the extend desktop may still work for you, as all you need to do is drag the window you want to display to the second desktop, i watch movies on my secondary desktop as im playing games on my primary desktop, its a lot tidier and may just be what you need. |
