Help Please with running Graphics card on 2 monitors ?

[jamieuk23]

Hi there ! I have a 7900 GTO card on my PC and I have it hooked up to my dell 24" monitor.

Now Just across the room I have my 42" plasma and I would like to watch DVD`s on it via my PC DVD drive to save the mider of buying a DVD player.

I have everything it seems hooked up ok with my plasma connected via VGA cable to the port on my graphics card.

I choose in the setup wizard "clone" and everythings seems ok, with both screens running as one. But I notice when I play a DVD in DVD software like Power DVD or theartertek etc there is no video showing up in the dsiplay window on my Plasma, but the move seems to be running fine on my Dell screen.

Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing, I just cant seem to get the video playing on my plasma even thou its playing fine in the software windows on my Dell

thanks for any help !

Set to dual mode and click n drag the player over to the plasma. I have two Sony G520's Monitors in my study side by side and although dont use clone mode, if i do then exact same happens with my equip. Why do you want to watch it on both at same time anyway?

you can also open nView properties and click applications , add whichever program you want to use for playing your dvds then in settings set it to open on your plasma display , save and exit , all dvds will then automatically open on your TV.
Hope that helps ya some.
