The machine is hooked to the TV so I did all my debugging using the TV and never used a normal monitor at all. On these machine I have to choose a specific output - TV or monitor - in BIOS. My experience with these Asus machines is the Phoenix BIOS didn't do a good job of auto-selecting which output to use and I didn't want to confuse things as my needs are TV only. I think I tried a monitor once, probably got a blank screen, and then gave up and just used the TV from there on. In your friend's case, if she's using a monitor sometimes and a TV sometimes, then that's beyond my experience on these boxes and you are unfortunately more on your own. I know the machine will drive a monitor - I have a 3rd that I use that way - but I've not had luck getting it to switch back and forth on command, although I haven't tried very hard. Good luck, Mark
