Does anyone have any ideas on this problem? I am running an xp system with an 8500dv hooked up to a TV via RCA cables, in addition to having a TV co-ax hooked into the 8500dv. I have tried several different variations on the settings in display/settings/advanced/displays, but always run into one of the following:
1. monitor as primary + tv as a clone (and vice versa) = image on one but not the other. on whichever one is the clone, the window that should contain the image appears but is blank.
2. monitor as primary + tv as part of extended desktop = image on tv, but herky-jerky sound and image.
3. monitor as primary + tv as primary = good tv/dvd image and sound on both, but then must suffer 640x480 resolution on the monitor plus the monitor image is severely off-center.
I've updated all of my drivers, but to no avail. I'd love to also hear any suggestions on how to make the 8500dv run smoother on XP. Thanks!
