Problems connecting my xp laptop to new samsumg 42 inch lcd tv?

Question

i connect vga cable when tv and laptop is switched off. then i switch on. i get the windows start up picture on the tv, but after 30 seconds it disappears and i either get a blank screen or jagged edges on the tv.

this happens on all screen-resolutions. i am at a loss now! do i need to load drivers for the samsung lcd tv ?

Answer 1

You need to press either FN+F5 or FN+F8 to get the display on your TV, and to change the display combination, after everything is hooked up, of course. If those keys don't work, try FN+F1, FN+F2, etc.
