    Hello All,
    I have a acer aspire 5100-3357 laptop, I've tried everything that I know to try concerning my problem. That is...I can plug in an external computer monitor to the video jack on the back of my laptop, and the computers video signal displays properly on it. But when I try the same thing using my vizio L32 lcd tv, using the vga jack on the monitor, the display coming out of my laptop won't stay on at a constant rate. It just keeps flickering, and then blinking off and on. Anyone have any ideas ? I can use a different computer that has ms windows xp on it and everything works fine. By the way...my laptop has ms windows vista home premium installed on it. my laptop uses a ati radeon xpress 1100 video chip.
    Thanks,
    David :(
