Two displays

[Bill_Sumits]

I have a slim HP with a GeForce 9300ge graphics card. It has both DVI and HDMI sockets. I want to use both a monitor and TV at the same time with these two sockets. I seem to be only able to use one or the other. IS THIS NORMAL or should I be able to use both.

Bill, when you say monitor and TV, is the TV LCD/Plasma or CRT?  Also, which OS are you using?

I have been doing some research and can't find any definitive answer to your question.  However, my gut feeling tells me that your card may not be up to the task.  I will do more research when you answer my questions.

I am using XP Pro with a XFX 4870 XXX video card.  When I open the "Display" module in the "Control Panel" and "Settings", it shows that I can use two monitors.

I seem to have solved my own problem. I was opwning the NVIDIA control panel with only the monitor attached to the DVI output. With both the LCD TV and the moniton attached via DVI and HDMI cables, when I onpen the NVIDIA contro panel I see two displays and can clone the image. It works now.

Thanks.

The first time I tried to do this I had both TV and Monitor turned on when I turned on the computer, and got no display on either.

By plugging in the second display when the system was up, the second display appeared in the NVIDIA control panel.

Bill, glad that you solved your problem.  It is nice when things workout.
