    When do I know I need new parts???

    cheapgoose- if she's your girlfriend, you can upgrade anytime (including the girlfriend!). If she's your wife, then you've got a problem... ;)

    Creating VCDs?

    I hate to tell you, but I've read some awfully nasty things about the Sony 360 and 560 DVD players on places that have user reviews like vcdhelp.com and another that slips my mind right now. My brother has a 360 and hates it. I hope yours works out well for you...

    Hooking up laptop to TV, Movies don't show

    Things like DVDs and other video sources only seem to display on the primary monitor. I'm not sure how your laptop does video, but I have a similar problem with my desktop if I either extend my desktop onto my TV via horizontal spanning and move the, say, Winamp video window onto it. Same...

    Nvidia Vanta card ? Riva TNT2-64 and LCD monitor - OK ?

    Check out this article first before making a final decision on buying an LCD. It has to do with dead pixels and warranty replacements. http://www6.tomshardware.com/display/20030319/index.html

    I tried imaging-resources.com and got a radiology site.

    Dualview on ti4400 with VGA and TV???

    Well, I uninstalled 43.45, ran Detonator Destroyer (which removed two files and then crashed- guess it doesn't like XP...), reinstalled 43.86, and still no dice. I skipped 43.45 on the advice of a fellow with a GeforceFX who had nView working properly with his TV before 43.45 and then had it...

    indep. resolutions - yes or no?

    This quotes Lonyo, and he runs a 2000 box: "This works for me, and I can have TV at 800x600, 16 bit, 60Hz, monitor 1600x1200 @ 32bit, 85Hz " And one of them is even a TV!

    How to remove macrovision to backup your VHS tapes?

    What behaviour do you get from your tv card when you input Macrovisioned video? If it blanks it out completely you're probably out of luck, but if it just muddles it a bit I suppose it's possible that your might be able to run the digitized stuff through something like SmartRipper (which...

    Dualview on ti4400 with VGA and TV???

    Rankor, everything in my "Full Screen Video Mirroring Controls" box is greyed out so I can't change that.

    Dualview on ti4400 with VGA and TV???

    Lonyo- got another update- someone on nvnews has your EXACT (Creative Ti4400 anyway) card and he has the same problem I do. The spot where the enable dualview checkbox should be is blank and he just has a "restore defaults" button there. There HAS to be a way to enable it somehow via software...

    How to remove macrovision to backup your VHS tapes?

    I'm not sure of a software solution, but I have two hardware "image stabilizers" that have RCA in and out that I use for copying from VCR to VCR and for running my DVD player through the VCR. You'll only need one for what you want to do, though. Software might be cheaper if you can find...

    Dualview on ti4400 with VGA and TV???

    Well, guess what? My Ti4400 desktop utilities tab doesn't have that option in it. I have the "display media center" and "enable desktop manager" options, but where yours has the "enable dualview" stuff, mine just has the "restore defaults" button with no additional writing or checkbox...

    Dualview on ti4400 with VGA and TV???

    OK, got your post, thx, but couldn't find the option you mentioned anywhere. I'm using Det 43.45 under XP Pro. Where exactly in the desktop utilities section is it supposed to be? What Det version are you running?

    Dual view T.V. and Monitor on 4200

    My experience is with XP and the 42.86 or 43.45 drivers, so I'll assume you're using those. My clone option is accessed by entering display properties, settings, advanced, ti4400 tab, and then clicking on device selection on the side window that pops out. There should be 4 options-...
