Samsung TV wont connect to Laptop with VGA cable?

Heres the situation:


LE32re87bdx Samsung TV


Connects to my vista PC fine, with a vga cable,





Using the same VGA cable, but connecting to my XP laptop (soyn Vaio), the laptop display wont output onto the TV, and i cant select 'PC' option on the TV- the laptop doesnt recognise the TV is plugged into it, and vice versa.





its not a problem with the laptop though as when i connect it to a Tosh TV, the laptop display outputs fine on the TV





Therefore it seems to be an incompatibility with the Samsung TV and the XP laptop


is this common? am i doing something wrong?


there is nothing wrong with any of the hardware or the cables, as they all work, just the xp laptop and the samsung tv wont!

This is probably a XP issue. The software doesn't seem to recognize that you connected the TV, Most graphic card drivers have a function to "force tv detection". Try activating that and reboot. On XP rebooting while connected is often a solution for these issues.
