Hi all, I use my PC as a PVR and would prefer to watch playback through S-Video. I have managed to set up cabling and using Display Settings, I can switch view to my TV via the S-video out on my MSI FX5200 graphics card. According to Microsoft, I should be able to drag between Windows monitors, but I don't think this is possible with S-Video.

My issue is, its a P.I.T.Bum, to have to keep calling up Display Settings to switch between monitors, the TV resolution is low, so Vista isn't displayed as I would like, text suffers as you would expect. With XP I had a Desktop Manager bundled with my Card, I could switch with 1 click. Unfortunately it doesn't have Vista support. I also tried setting up a second User and setting up the display that way, when I switched User, the settings remained.

Can you suggest any thing else, please?

Thanks
:)
