DVI Video Connection

I connected my DVI video cable yesterday and now cannot view photos/slidshow
using Media Center. I'm running Vista Ultimate on a Dell Dimension 9150.
I've been using the standard VGA (blue) video connection...without any
problems. Now that my DVI cable is in place, my photos no longer show and my
video when watching TV is off with color.

Is there an issue with Media Center when using DVI opposed to VGA connection?

Thanks in advance

JR

Have you checked you have the latest graphics drivers?

I have a video card with one VGA and one DVI output with one monitor
attached to one and a second monitor attached to the other. I have no issues
with Media Center or any other program.

The only difference between my setup and yours is that I have both VGA and
DVI connections going to a single monitor. I'm able to select via my monitor
which input to view...when I'm viewing the VGA input everything works
fine...when I view the DVI input the images (slide show and Photo
screensaver) will not work.

Any thoughts?
