Another stray thought.... is the 2nd monitor active (right click on it and see whether it lists activate as an option)?
Is she turning the TV on (and the mixer if connected through) before starting the computer?
It is awfully hard sometimes to troubleshoot via long distance.    |
she might need to get a 7 pin s-video to rca cable.. my dell ( 1405 & 1505 ) laptops has 7 pins s-video ,i couldnt get it to work with the 4 pins s-video cable at first , i had to use the pc to tv adapter from my old laptop and i got tired of having all those adaptors sticking out of my laptops..so i ended up buying from a website a 7 pin s-video to rca and its been working fine
