    Connecting PC to TV Failure

    Hi Everybody,



    I have a Dell Vista PC and am trying to connect it to an LCD Samsung TV. Using a VGA Cable.

    Thing is I cannot seem to configure the two to communicate.

    I have tried to change the resolution in Display Settings and the Nvidia control panel, but no secondary display is recognized.

    I am very close to tears so could someone please help me out - thanks.

    Re: Connecting PC to TV Failure

    Well I have connected the Dell Studio 540 PC running Vista Home Premium to a Samsung LCD TV via a VGA cable.

    I have then gone to display properties and tried to adjust the monitor 2 resolution so as to have the TV communicate with it and display the PC.

    I have unchecked the monitor 1 as main monitor and checked monitor 2 as main monitor.
    I have then gone through every resolution and the TV still doesn't recognize anything.

    On the drop down bar of the monitors in display properties it reads:
    Monitor 1 says Dell Monitor 'on NVIDIA'
    Monitor 2 says (Default Monitor) on NVIDIA

    The graphics card I have is:
    NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GT
    DAC Type: Integrated RANDAC
    Approx Total Memory: 1902 MB
