My monitor doesn' work with vista

I have a Maxent 42" plasma tv which ive' had connected to a laptop and a pc
both running XP. I recently bought a new PC with vista and i get nothing
happening on my screen. I've updated the video cards, done all updates, and
it still doesn't work. i contacted HP they didnt have a clue. its a great pc,
i wouldnt want to have to change to XP if i dont have to. Its also kind of
hard to run all the troubleshooting stuff when the monitor doesnt show
anything. Am i missing something, or is Windows Vista missing something?

whats a vista?

Hi604birdman,
Can you provide the model number of your HP so I can look at the
specs to possibly help you out? Also how do you have your XP machines
hooked up to the plasma? RCA cables? Thanks
Raj

from my experience it usually requires special software to make the tv the monitor.

for my ATI cards, I use Catalyst Control Manager, or Hydra.

Boot into safe mode

Go to Display properties
( Right click the desktop and select Personalize )
Change the resolution to 1280 by 1024

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how you made them feel.
