computer using the TV display

I'm trying to show my desktop on my sony TV.  Help

Hi "Dede"

Looks like you expected an answer for a while, let me help out you:

The first thing you need to do when connecting your computer to your TV is to identify what type of entry you have on your TV and what kind of output you have on your computer.  The output out of your next video card would be the best place to start because if you do not have the output on the video card connection then you obviously aren't going to be able to connect to your TV.

For reference -.

Common types of output:

* A Coaxial cable (the same as the cable box)

* Composite input RCA (yellow, red and white inputs)

* S - Video

* VGA

New TVs and less common types of inputs/outputs:

* Component video

* DVI

* HDMI

(1) IDENTIFY THE OUTPUTS OF YOUR COMPUTER:

It will appear out of your video card. Often these will be VGA or S-video but can be one of the other connections above.

(2) CONNECT IT TO YOUR TV:

The easiest is to simply plug in directly. You can also find adapters if you do not have the exact link type from the PC to the computer. That is to say. VGA S-video adapter. You'll need of course also the cord from computer to computer.

Note: The amount of resolution which allows to display on the TV would be based on the amount of vertical lines of resolution of the TV. I'd be able to tell you exactly what you have if I knew what Sony TV you have, but here is the general rule:

For example:

Not HDTV-

500 lines of resolution of 640 x 480 resolution computer =

HDTV-

computer 720 p resolution = 1280 x 720

1080i and 1080 p = 1920 x 1080

Do not forget that the effective resolution can be even less because the edges of the TV may cut the part of the resolution of TVs on.

Good luck and hope this helps.

  • Failed to load XP on the same computer using the product key on the case of the CPU.

    I uninstalled XP and tried to load Window 7 s. had driver problems. Let down. Now I can't reinstall XP on the same computer using the product key on the case. I get a message "invalid Key". It's a Dell PC 6 years, if that matters.

    As I said, you will need the manufacturer's recovery disk, or disk OEM System Builder.

    Do you have which drive tried to use?

    You may be able to borrow a disk OEMSB from a friend - or you may be able to order the Dell recovery disks (they are cheap).

  • How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can?

    Switch issues. Help, please.

    How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can? We already checked the firewall as a question, that it was not, and now, we are puzzled.

    Well, I know that the issue is long-term... believe me, it's a long, but as they say, the devil is in the details. Anywho, the question is, my grandfather has a HP laptop, which for two years has been able to run through a Linksys switch to his router and connect its printers to his laptop. About two months ago it suddenly doesn't work like that. Now, it works fine if it plugs directly into the router/Ethernet. My uncle suggested that the switch was bad, but after testing the same port, cable and all, the switch worked well for him. ' GRAMPS really needs this answered, but someone else, it is called can not understand and now I, in turn, ask you all for what you can offer. Here are the ideas that we have already discredited.

    -Switch bad: as above, is that this particular laptop, even under identical conditions, the works of my uncle very well.
    -Bad NIC: debunked through the fact we connected to the computer directly to the router and it worked fine.
    -Bad configuration of the firewall: we have disabled the firewall (please do not notice, he wasn't the smartest idea, we already know) and even if she recorded the switch exists, the internet is always triggered when you are connected with the switch.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide and Merry Christmas to you all.

    It would be useful to consult the results of the ipconfig/all command both when it is connected to the switch and when it is connected directly to the router.  In addition, what is the model of the switch?

    To save the manual copy and the new hits of the ipconfig/all command output-

    First connect through switch.
    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected via the button" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

    Now connect directly to the router, type the following lines in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected to the router" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    Notepad '% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.
    output

    Copy the contents of the Notepad window in your response (if you use the laptop when it is connected directly to the router) or close the Notepad window, and then copy ipinfo.txt of the laptop to the Gramps in a USB FlashDrive you can connect to any computer allows you to answer.

    You can delete ipinfo.txt on the desktop when you are finished.

    You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

    1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
    you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
    you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
    a copy (or a license) for each computer.

    There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
    effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
    the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
    computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
    OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
    It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
    computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

    A simple problem I guess, but as a writer, it is very annoying.  Whenever I'm trying to use the ', it displays "and" "when I hold down the SHIFT key.  I have to delete the extra apostrophe to an apostrophe.  How can I change, so it's a single apostrophe instead of quotes at all times.  I played with the language toolbar and every time I spend in the US instead of US International, it fixes the problem... only temporarily.  How can I make it permanent?  Thanks for the help in advance.

    Hi Spundae,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, it looks like a character is typed when you use a single apostrophe.

    I have a link that should guide you in the right direction.

    Visit the link and indicate "the keys do not collide correctly" and "the wrong characters are typed.

  • HP Officejet scan cannot be run, error "Scan cannot be performed because another program or computer uses the network device.

    Hello everyone,

    After you have installed Windows 8 on my desk, I lost the ability to scan with HP (Officejet 8500 pro wireless) solutions Center. Wen I click on scan (rather photo or document) I get a message: "Scan cannot be performed because another program or computer uses the network device. There is a little information on the HP site. I've tried all the suggested solutions, including several install and reinstall the HP software. The printing part works very well, and I can scan with other programs directly using the WIA driver. Now I scan documents to pdf authorizing searches, who wants me that this question be set quite often. Currently, I use my laptop for that. Everything works very well with Windows 7.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Johann

    I contacted HP about this specific problem.  They informed me that it is an upgrade of Windows 8 that Twain issue and they do not support this problem.  Reinstall the current drivers of hp does not help.
