    When I connect my Z590 via HDMI to TV nothing happens. Same TV and HDMI cable work when connecting to a Vista Lenovo laptop. Do I miss some drivers in my XP install or need different Nvidia driver? Thanks!

    Use Fn + F7 to select which displays you want to use.

    You should get the option of LCD, LCD+HDMI, HDMI only.

    It works fine on XP.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks, but it doesn't work either or at least I don't see any OSD related to any Fn + something combinations. Need to start looking for what is missing
    EDIT: Installed some sony utilities, and voila, everything works. Thanks
