Refresh rate will probably be set too high.

tried setting it on a CRT to 60, 75,85 then plugging it into the samsung, didnt work

didnt think it would though lol - how do you change refresh rate once samsung is plugged in - catch 22?

Refresh rate doesn't really matter to lcd's as they don't work the same as crt's but it can still be out of range.

Try setting it to a really low resolution then connecting it.

Also try switching it off, plugging the tv in then turning it on, sometimes it's just fiddly.

Have neither of them got DVI?

What is the native resolution on the TV? May be an issue with the aspect ratio. It certainly won't be 1024 x 768 if it's a widescreen TV.

16:9 or 4:3 it plays for a fact, unsure on others

laptop auto adjusts to the correct size, will have to check what it outputs

even at 800*600 it wont work

grrrr
