Hello people,

I have my computer connected to my TV, and I used to be able to watch a video on both displays at the same time. However, after I bought a new harddrive and installed XP again, I can't do that anymore. The video's shown only on the primary display, and the other one just has a black box on it. I have the geforce 4 mx with the clone mode on, just like it was before. I've tried tweaking the setup but just can't get it to work. Any ideas?

It's a settings problem. In the NVIDIA drivers you have to set the TV and monitor to clone mode and make one or the other the primary display. Keep fiddling with the primary display options and it should play sooner or later.

I'll provide more detailed instructions once I get back to my dorm.
