Video card problems

[toshi]

I was trying to to hook up a secondary monitor which is a hdtv to my 7600gt. I kept getting a no signal error from the TV but the Nvidia tool recognized another monitor was hooked up so I switched the TV to be the primary monitor and rebooted now I was seeing my desktop through the TV but now my old monitor didn't show anything. I thought it might be a driver issue and went to the Nvidia's site to get the lastest drivers and rebooted that didn't work so I thought reinstalling the card might fix things. I disabled the card in device manager and power off and took the card out. I switched my old monitor to the onboard video connector and reinserted the card. it posted and loaded windows fine no I went into device manger and disabled the onboard before i had installed the drivers for the card (yes I know very dumb of me) now I can't see widows load if it's connected to the onboard video and it does nothing if connected to the card. anyway to resolve this?

How are you connecting to the TV? Most NV cards prefer component video unless there is a native HDMI. Is this XP or Vista? Under Set up multiple displays in the NV Control Panel is the options My display isn't shown. If you click that you can force the card to give a display through a port even though nothing is detected as attached to it. Hopefully your TV will pick up the signal. Have you checked the port you are connecting to on the TV with another device to make sure nothing is wrong on the TV?

Boot your PC in VGA mode and hopefully you will get a display.
(Press F8 while booting)

To set up dual display, tell your NVidia driver to use dual display mode.
It is probably configured for single display mode.
