projection issues

[Md2508]

I just installed a new invidia 8600gts graphics card and when i plugged everything in i can not get any image onto my projectors....when i called invidia i was told that it could possibly be the splitter that i am using and that its not sending a proper signal back to the card...so i plugged a projector cord directly into the back of the graphics card and it did work...so i am not sure whats wrong if it is not the proper splitter or what? please advise asap....also when i was running a cat5e cable in the loft of the church i noticed that the front monitors have a analog splitter up there for them??? please advise as to what to do because right now i have to plug the back projector directly into the comp restart get a signal onto that then i unplug that and plug the monitor cable from the splitter that runs all 3 and it works until i shut down and bring it back up i get 3 blue screens...please let me know what you think i should do or who i should call as i need this problem fixed asap...thanks!!!!!

better than a splitter would be a distribution amp. If you're using sd video outputs there is a simple 1 input to four output one available at Radio Shack at around $50-60-even less on sale.

I'll let someone else chime in with vga cabling versions-I believe we're using a tv-one splitter/amp at church now though.

It would make sense though, that it's not working when you split it-you're going to lose at least 3db, more likely 6db, of signal when you do that, and that might be enough to allow your projector to work correctly when you bypass the splitter.
