Hi, "Only Wallpaper and No ICON or Window display on TV on connection of laptop to TV by S-video"
I recently bought an S video Cord and also RCA Audio cables along with it. I did the testing initially on my friends laptop to connect to the TV. It worked.
I have a compaq presario 2500/WindowsXP/ATI Radeon 345M Graphics card.I did all what is advised in the thread, such as:
a. Setup of connection of cables b. Extend the Display of the laptop tp TV c. Using Settings > Display > Advanced > Set TV specifications: Region: India Format : PAL-B d. Changed resolution to 800 * 600 and all possible options. e. Used Fn+F5 to switch between displays.
But all I can see is the WALLPAPER(color is maintained) of the laptop every time.None of the ICONS or the Windows TASKBAR is visible on the screen. On pressing Fn+ F5 the TV screen just flickers and on the laptop screen, I do not get an option to choose between LAPTOP,TV+LAPTOP,TV.
I read some of the above threads, where this issue is mentioned but no fixes yet. Please Please someone help me see my laptop screen reproduced on TV!!!
In advanced settings of your display you can move the icons and the start bar between monitors with a click of the button... Only thing you cant have them on both. I use a nvidia card
nly Wallpaper:No Icon or Desktop windows
