I need help getting my laptop to attach to my TV in such a way that I will have my computer screen displayed on the TV and at the same time have my laptop screen off.
I can easily extend my desktop to the TV, but that is not what I need.
I have tried turning the pc off and leaving the tv on, then restarting the pc, and actually one time randomly it worked, but not since then could I do it again.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8500, with Windows Vista.
My graphics card is ATI radeon mobility 9000.
I have an s-video cord that has the s-video thing on one end and there are A/V ports on the other end.
My tv is older so it does not have s-video, so i just have it hooked into the A/V slot.
Any ideas?
