Windows xp
not 2nd monitor / extend option
using vga

ya, how the fuck i do this, really annoying me....

Plug in the VGA to the computer tower and into the tv, then switch it to the VGA option, usually called Component (via the input button on the TV or remote).

Its called RGB on mine, but tried both, tried turning off, both etc, following tv book for it, following enet guides to doing it..idk man...so stupid...

what TV are you using?

model / name / model number would be very helpful

I used to do this all the time. Now I have 3 monitors and eyefinity

What video card do u have?
Make sure u have the latest video drivers installed.
And get the catalyst control center

How many video outputs does ur video card have?
U can't use a combination of ur video card and your on board video card
