actually i think i may have figured this one out as well, i have been trying to run it through a modulator so that i can go to coaxial cable to my tv, and im pretty sure that its just that a coaxial cable cant hold everything and it needs to be a direct link with s-video, the tv that i'm going to actually use for the dual monitoring is on layaway at wally world until at least my next check.... it has a direct s-vid so i hope this should be what is needed if you know any way i can check to see if i use the tv i have now let me know.... the modulator i was sending it through has a channel switch with 3 and 4 and if i had it set on 4 and changed the channel to 3 i could see part of my back ground in with the fuz, so i moved a window to the other screen it the fuz started to scrool but i could see the shape of the window and all of its tabs but it wasnt clear
