TV can't see signal from nettop client?

[btrcp2000]

Posted this at AVS, then realized that some here might be able to help:

I have a zotac zbox hd nettop that outputs DVI-I and a samsung LN-T4661f. I have tried to connect it to HDMI1 (which is the specified pc input for this tv, if you're not using vga)with an DVI-HDMI cable, as well as to the PC VGA using a dvi-vga adapter off the back of the computer. No matter what I do, it shows "not supported mode" on either input. The tv's info screen has no resolutions listed at all, like it's not actually getting a signal. This is all resolutions from 800x600 to 1920x1080. I have another computer with a Radeon 8500GT card that works fine using any of the above variables, so obviously it's something with the zbox.

Built in video card on the zbox is a Next Gen Ion. Any ideas?

BTW, this isn't something I can solve with an extender (already have 5) as it needs to be a pc.

It's nVidia stuff and drivers, right? I think you may need to go into the Windows desktop while connected to a PC monitor and find the nVidia control panel stuff. Inside there you'll need to tell it you're connecting to a HDTV. There may be settings to detect it, etc. Get that all set before you click on the "OK" button. After hitting OK you may lose the desktop. Just shut down the machine and now connect it up to the HDTV and see if you see it. Also check in the BIOS to make sure if there are settings in there to have the video auto detect the TV. Sometimes those may be in there.
