Hi,
I would like to output the display from my laptop onto my LCD TV. I have done this before with no problem in xp. I had an icon bottom right of screen and could easily click output to crt. I don't seem to have any program installed that I can find to let me do this in Windows 7.
Device manager says graphics all ok but shows as "Standard VGA Adapter"
Drivermax also says I have the latest drivers?
any help much appreciated.
Regards
Steve......
Hi Anthony,
I wish I knew what the graphics card was?
Everywhere I look it just says "standard VGA Adapter" I have a Hyrican NOT 00717 Model 8889 laptop. I have tried looking on the internet for a spec but as yet have not found one. Do you know of a program I can use that will tell me what the graphics card is?
Regards
Steve....
Try this small program, GPU-Z:
GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility
I hope this information helps to find out what graphics I have.......
Your integrated graphics are from viaarena...
VIA Arena - Drivers Section
Try hitting start and typing in connect to a projector and if that doesn't work try connect to an external display... This will more than likely do what you want to do...
You could try here - Live Search Translator - Translate a web page (hyrican home page, translated)- to see if the drivers for ATI or nVidia work. You will need to run the exe files in compatability mode for vista to get them working.
NOTE: If you don't know what the GFX card is: Even if you have the ATi and install the nVidia, the install will only go so far so you can actually try 1 then the other to see if they work.
Additional: as fakeasdf stated try the connect to projector option but you can get to it also by right-clicking the desktop & choosing Screen Resolution and clicking Detect. Make sure the cable is connected to the LCD display.
You could also try uninstalling the driver (See Pic) and Windows will re-detect the hardware & should connect to Windows Update to get the correct driver.

My guess is, he already has the Windows driver since he doesn't know what driver he has, meaning he probably didn't install it himself.
