I have a monitor and would like to make my TV show the same thing as my
desktop, I could do this in XP, but it seem all I can do in Vista is extend
my desktop.

How would I make my TV show the same thing as my monitor?

You might want to look at:

http://realtimesoft.com/ultramon/download.asp

They have a beta release for Vista that actually gives you a far more
useful multi monitor setup. I personally prefer using an operating
system built-in multi monitor support that doesn't require me to cripple
my main screen as a clone to watch something on my TV.

Hi,
Only by connecting a S-video cable between you TV and the PC it is working
fine.

Thank you everyone for your help, but unfortunately I still can't get it to
work.

To Stephan Rose: I downloaded that ultramon trial, but can't find any option
that allows me to reproduce my monitors image on another monitor/TV.

To corbomite: The layout is different in Vista than in XP, I had a plethora
of options and it was easy to do, not its simple with only a extend monitor
box and a resolution bar, with a screen that allows me to move my secondary
monitor.

To Huib: That has been done. Thats how I got the extend monitor to work, now
I am looking for a way to replicate my monitor on the TV rather than
extending it.
