bressonian Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hi guys, I honestly did search the forums to find the solution to my problem, perhaps the answer is buried in there somewhere but I couldn't find it. So I apologize if this has been covered. I recently hooked my laptop up to my television in order to play the game on the larger screen. I had to adjust the resolution within the My MVP options to 800x600/16 in order to get the game to show up on the TV screen. Now, however, the game will only show up on my TV screen, not on my laptop. It appears only as a bunch of lines, impossible to make out. When I hook it back up to the TV, it displays perfectly, so I used that as an opportunity to set the resolution back the way it was. This didn't do anything, though, and now I'm stuck with a game that's only functional on my television, which I'm rarely near. Can anybody help solve my problem? Do I have to re-install (ughhh)? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bressonian Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hate to bump my own thread, but it's at the top right now anyway... Just as some kind of update, I reinstalled, and it didn't do anything, same thing. I'm really, really frustrated, as I've tried everything I can think of, so if anybody knows something I don't...please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, but can it be that you set your game in your video settings to ONLY run on the T.V.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bressonian Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Do you mean within the video card settings or the MVP settings? I've tried to set both back to default with no luck...changing resolutions on my computer also often causes the same lines to appear ever since I hooked it up to the television. I have a Nvidia GeForce4 440 card, for reference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
