Hi Richard .... I have tried 1024 x 768 but it did not solve the problem. I
am not sure how to "clone". Thee is no obvius option for that in the ATI
software. Do you know how?

I'm using nvidia so I don't have an ATI to look at. However, I go to the
Display Properties and select settings > Advanced. I can then see my
GeForce card listed in the tabs. From there I can get a Display Mode which
gives me the options of Clone, Horizontal Span, Vertical Span & Dual View.

The TV has to be connected for these options to show.

Hope this helps.

Richard
