hey averyone

>i BOUGHT a new tv a few days ago and thought that i might be able to connect it to my laptop- the PROBLEM is that the TV has a scart and an aerial in slots, is there a cable or adapter that would allow me to this.(like above where i can drag/drop windows between the 2 screens)

>my other question is that i have a PC monitor and have tries to connect that to my laptop, i have seen people plug theirs into their monitor and have 2 windows open simultaneously and be able to drag between them, have tried this but it will only show the screen i got, how do i do this- is it software i need?

P.S. i live in the UK, incase there are different things to do in different countries

thanks in advance

stuWhat's your OS?  When you connected the monitor to your laptop, you saw a window asking you how you WANT to use the monitor, right?  You need to tell Windows you want to "Extend your desktop to this monitor". 

I can't answer your question about the tv.  But, I'm inclined to think using the extra monitor you have is a better choice than using the tv as a monitor.im using windows XP and did not see a window saying how i wanted to use the monitor
