New Duel Video Graphic Card Problem
 

Hi guys.This ones got me pulling my hair out.I just installed the ATI Radeon 9500 in my Dell desktop. I got the duel monitor thing sort of working,no problem with the VGA primary.The secondary (s-vid)however is skipping.It looks like the old tv's used to look when the horizontal button was set wrong.Heres the strainge thing.If I connect from the dell into my DVD burner s-vid in,then connect from my DVD burner S-vid out to my TV ,the picture is perfect.I don't want to have to lug that burner with me everywhere I go,any ideas? Thanks Billy.

Billy, make sure your second monitor is set for 60 Hz refresh rate. TV's use the power input sine wave (60 Hz) to syncronize their pictures. Screen size should be at least 800x640 or higher.

Hi Dale,thanks for the help.Im set at 1024X768 32bit and Im running at 60 hz but its not working.I tried using some other settings but none of them had any effect.Billy

is your cable good ?

Hi Beavis,how are ya? Ya I tested the cable .No problerm there.Billy

did you update the video card itself ?

No,how do I do that?

you need to go to ATI's website and get the updates for the drivers. is you card built by ATI or powered by ATI ??

Good question.I'll get that info and try the ATI website and get back to you.Thanks,Billy

WOW! Beavis YOU ARE THE MAN! Did what you said and its working perfectly.THANK YOU:g :g :g :g :g :g :g :g

Good job Bevis and Dale!

I have a request. Please... whatever HTML editor you are using and pasting into here, please just type directly into the screen here. I had to edit all the HTML codes out. :r

JUst type directly in the edit field the Forum gives you. The junk in your post above (I made it visible so you can see it), to my knowledge of being Admin for our 5 years using this code, can only be added by your using some other program to prepare, then pasting it into this edit field.

Type directly in the Forum edit field please.

I'm at a loss then. When you see all the blank area below your post, it contains the "tables" and other stuff I made visible above. I'm not even aware that this Forum allows entering Tables in the WYSIWYG tool bar.

What Internet Browser program are you useing? Maybe that's causing the extra coding somehow. :? :? :?

This appears to be some kind of email add-in or plugin. I found several instances doing Google search, but none of the posters seemed to be aware of it. If it isn't something you added in to do email via web browser, then it is probably spyware or adware. Best bet would be to run a spyware checker like Spybot to make sure.
