Has the PowerDVD TV out problem been resolved by the latest NVIDIA drivers?

situation:

reformatting my friends old Dell Dimension 4300, It has Ge force 2 mx 400.

I reinstalled XP pro with slipstreamed SP2. I did not install any video drivers just using the XP provided drivers. I assume it has been certified.

I cant play copyrighted DVD's . Powerdvd wants me to disable TV out. I cannot figure out how to disable this.


What drivers are you guys using (old or new) to avoid this problem?

I am using Powerdvd 4.0 (I think)

Thanks

P.S. I have googled this but it is such an old problem I cant find a clear answer.
 
I'm having the same problem on my Inspiron 8200 notebook with GF4 440Go. I fixed it once before (don't remember how, I think it was using some Dell utility), but then I reformatted and now I can't figure out how to disable tv-out on that as well. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

I actually also have the same laptop with the same videocard. I also reformatted last week. and The same problem with the TV out Occured. I was able to solve it thru the NVIDIA properties somewhere. Will try to get back to you on where. when I get home.

Peace

 
You can thank the MPAA for that one. Older nVidia cards weren't Macrovision-compliant on their TV outputs (gF2MX, many Go-series cards) and thus from driver versions greater than 30.xx, if TV output is enabled, Macrovision-protected titles like DVDs won't play properly.

AnMig pleaes do get back to me. I've been staring at NVIDIA's drivers (the latest official release) but couldn't find anything related to disabling the TV out.

Sure.



I guess we are stuck using the old drivers for these old NVIDIA cards.
