My monitor doesn' work with vista

[604birdman]

I have a Maxent 42" plasma tv which ive' had connected to a laptop and a pc
both running XP. I recently bought a new PC with vista and i get nothing
happening on my screen. I've updated the video cards, done all updates, and
it still doesn't work. i contacted HP they didnt have a clue. its a great pc,
i wouldnt want to have to change to XP if i dont have to. Its also kind of
hard to run all the troubleshooting stuff when the monitor doesnt show
anything. Am i missing something, or is Windows Vista missing something?

from my experience it usually requires special software to make the tv the monitor.

for my ATI cards, I use Catalyst Control Manager, or Hydra.

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how you made them feel.
