one where can I find drivers?

two the mother board has intergrated video
I think the mx440 will only drive one or the other output?

so should I use the intergraded video for the monitor and the s-video for projector
i was hoping xp would figure it out but its not
I've never really messed with s-video any help would be appreciated

thanks Jeff
 
ok, are you saying you want to use the integrated video port for the monitor and the dedicated nvidia mx440 for the s video out for the projector? you can only use one or the other if i understand you correctly.

edit: o, look on nvidia.com for the drivers
 
I got the newest drivers from nvidia couldnt find anything else but cant get the s-video to display on the projector
 
Ok... is this correct?

You're using integrated video right now for the monitor
You have an AGP mx440 in the computer too with the projector plugged into it via s-video


If that's the case, you don't need to use the onboard video anymore. Plug the monitor into the vga connection of the mx440. You should get video on startup. You can go into BIOS and disable your onboard video then.

Go into windows and make sure you have the display drivers installed and everything looks ok.

You should be able to right click on the desktop and go to properties. Go to settings and then advanced. This has all the options for your mx440 now. Depending on the driver version you have there should be a displays tab, or an mx440 tab or something... I haven't used an nvidia card in over a year so I'm not sure what has changed. Anyway, somewhere in this area you should be able to select a "switch amongst displays" or "clone" mode. This will allow you to send output to the projector while in Windows. Switch amongst displays will enable the projector and disable the monitor. Clone will show the same on both screens. (Clone mode wont be able to show motion video on the projector, but if this is just for text or pictures or something, it should be fine). There will also be an extend desktop or something, which is not something you'd want probably.

I hope this gets you started.
