Well, I found out my video card is input only so I have to get a new card. I have found a EVGE GeForce7200gs 128mb DDRZ 512mb w/turbocache DVI VGA TV out at Tigerdirect. Can anyone tell me if this will work with hoster?
Thank You.
Judy.

Judy this card should work, but one with 256MB or 512MB (the first number) would be better. Future upgrades of Hoster are requiring more video memory than the current ones. Be sure that it has an RCA or S-Video plug along with the VGA plug on the back, so you can use a TV as secondary monitor.
I should have researched this better on your initial post. The only way you could use the original video would be to use two computer monitors (1 analog and digital with DVI input). A TV will not work with the on-board video.
You may have to go into the Bios and disable the on-board video after you put the new card in and get it set-up.

Be careful when updating driver, I have a nvidia GForce 8600 GT and after updating driver it would only allow me to use HD TV's. I had to roll back driver as all places I do shows don't have HD TV's.

Beavis I have updated both ways, Windows and NVidia. Same results.

OK guys I got a Gforce8400 video card. I changed the settings to "extend the desktop onto this monitor", clicked apply and ok. I restart the computer. The display starts on the TV, not my main monitor, then when it gets to login & password it reverts back to the main monitor. I open Hoster and the second display is still on the main. I cannot get it on to the TV. I go back to display settings and the #2 monitor says "inactive. I'm lost. What do need to do now?
