I made a computer with a laptop mother board with a 40 gig Hard Drive and some ram etc... The Computer's monitor is a 13inch TV (it was a 27inch until I got the old school coaxial working on the smaller one, the RCA was mono...)
now this setup is in the corner of the basement constantly recording Justin.tv. I want to use the computer I've built for other purposes so I maid a desktop out of more left over/scavenged parts. It actually has more ram (for now) and the same 2.0ghz processor....(I have a lot of cheaper PC's in the house and 1 good one) and threw in a 80gig Hard Drive I bought at the pawn shop(not that space matters much now as I have a TB External for all PC's and doesn't come close to being filled, though I D/L over 100gb a month I burn everything to disk, not to mention they're cheap....I'm Thinking of connecting them all to my PS3 and 360 threw TV-ersity using one of these programs and have my own on demand with every TV show/movie downloaded put right onto it, that's how I watch my TV shows now, who ever made TVersity is a genius)
anyway the new PC has the same copy of windows, I got a S-video/Composite In and Out PCI card. Yet both the PC and Laptop have the same version of windows I formatted the computer with... But I Can't get S-Video (or yellow composite) Out to work at all, the dual monitor doesn't even come up as an option in properties.
I've tried many things, I Do INFACT get the screen to go from blue to black on the Panasonic TV when plugged in (the cheaper s-video cable effect that has a line running threw the screen on all other TV's is seen) ...But That's pretty much it (by the way, the out is working perfectly, I can hook A DV-Cam, or HD TV) and broadcast live on the 'Net.
I've looked into drivers and tried downloading needed drivers, I thought windows update , but now (which just slow down my computer I find, especially now that there is Vista) I have a machine working with that same windows CD going dual monitor...
It's looking like it's FOR SURE(GOD I HOPE NOT) the Mother-Boards Graphic card, that's the only difference between the two computers besides laptop/PC mother boards. The PSI S-video card came in the original box and I checked out system requirements and I met them all.
Does anyone have an idea on something I could have been by past, seeing as how one motherboard is a laptop board in a man made casing (It's some sort of Plastic box with cut wholes for outputs/inputs and ventilation holes, room for a fan to add, it sits by a bigger fan for now with the DVD/CD-Rom Drive sitting outside of the computer, thinking of taking it away all together and put it in the other ) and the other desktop motherboard in a regular desktop computer casing. So one is Laptop the other Desktop
Does the problem end there? How much would it cost to fix it? ( I don't understand how the input works and not the output) I'm doing this all build on a course I took in junior high were they thought us how to build a computer. I pretty much stopped fallowing new computer hardware 5-6 years ago. All I really cared about for awhile was new Digital Sound type cards, than realized everything had changed.
If I want to build a cheap desktop, and that's the only motherboard I have to do it with, is it impossible to use s-video(or any video) out?
What about the actual PC monitor cord, I know those are expensive and I can buy one and hook it up to my projector or PLASMA 1080i, which has a PC input, than make it go out to the PLASMA, which I'm not wasting my TV to have old TV recording on it all the time, the point is to record constantly to watch this stuff on a rainy day or if I find myself between cable companies.
WHAT ABOUT AN ADAPTOR CORD? One end would be Monitor out and the other end RCA, Component, Coaxial or S-video? Or could their even be a just a software(driver) that can fix this?
Thanks for baring with me and reading my life story....
