I was using my laptop hooked to my TV with S-video, holding Fn and using F5 to move to laptop and TV.  
when i do this everything on my laptop screen becomes larger and “puffy”. NY speed usually fits with in my screen but now it does not. i tried to use Fn and F5 to go back to just my laptop screen but nothing has happend, i have rebooted many times.

WTF, i suck with the compooper  
BTW its a toshiba, running XP

thanks

sounds like the computer has to drop its resolution to 640x480 to send the video to the tv.

Any older TV can not support the high resolution of a laptop.

right click on your desktop and go to setings tab and change your resolution back to normal.
