OK I see now -- you actually have to slide the VLC icon to crash into the edge of the LCD and then it appears on the TV.
It is working now but there is a further detail you did not warn me of: the video stream must be flowing as you crash it into the LCD edge. If you start the video fter the crash, it will not appear on the TV. Another problem has now developed from this -- see next mesage Thanks very mcuh to you all for helping on this jr --Original Message Text--- From: Alex Austin Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2010 21:47:37 -0600 Press the keyboard combination needed to turn off the S-video output. Then, right click on the desktop, go to properties, and details. Click the gray monitor and check " extend the windows desktop onto this monitor". Click apply. Now, you should be able move the VLC window to the side off the computer onto the tv. Now watch the video full screen.
