Here are the hardwares:
Sparkle GT630 2GB 128bit DDR3 video card
Rank Arena 19" PC Monitor (Connected via VGA Cable)
LG 32" LCD TV (Connected via CDRKING HDMI 3meter Cable)
WinXP SP3
2GB RAM
Q6600 Quad Core Processor
I was able to setup all correctly, nice output on LCD TV and PC monitor.
I used the nVidia Multiple Display Wizard and set up the PC monitor as Primary and the LCD TV as secondary. I also setup it up as cloned.
The problem I see now is when I boot my PC, no display is shown in my PC Monitor, it shows the display on the LCD TV. When the windows welcome screen appears it then shows up on both monitors already.
What am I doing wrong?
I already tried turning off the LCD TV. waited til the windows desktop shows in the PC montior but nothing happened.
Do I need to unplug the HDMI cable everytime I won't use the LCD TV as monitor?
IS this setup will bad for my video card?
please help.
Thanks.

Thanks hang-the-9 and presler.
I didn't know that clone mode forces to use same reso.
presler, so is it ok if I leave it as it is (windows uses TV to load then display appears after loading on PC monitor) or is there a better setting I can use?
is what I'm doing bad on gpu/LCD TV/LCD monitor?
I appreciate your replies.

Thanks for your reply.Well, the PC screen shows "no signal" while windows load on the LCD TV.
So I should be setting up both LCD displays to use the same resolution?
If you use clone setting, it will force you to use the same resolution. Make sure both monitors show up in the Windows display setting once it loads. You may need to update the video card drivers if you don't see it.
