this thing is driving me nuts... I changed a setting now tv out won't work. I formated. Still won't work. It works during boot up, but as soon as the login screen appears it shuts off, so it is a software issue. Anyone have an suggestions on the actions i need to take?

your resolution is probably set too high, set it to 800x600 or lower and see if that does it.

I have an NVidia GeForce2 MX with TV Out and have used the TV Out before, however, when I tried to switch to TV Out yesterday, the option to switch was grayed out. I tried reducing the resolution settings all the way down (800x600) and have also reinstalled the drivers. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

thanks for the reply, however....nope...same driver....behaves exactly the same...however, i found new info from nvidia's site:

TV-out on my graphics card is not working. How can I fix this?

To test the TV-out feature of your graphics card, turn off your computer. Then connect the S-VIDEO cable from your graphics card to your TV. If your TV does not support S-VIDEO, then you may need to purchase an ?S-VIDEO to Composite? adapter. Once you have all the connections you need, connect your graphics card to your TV. Make sure there are no other devices in between, such as a VCR or switchbox. Then, unplug the PC monitor from your graphics card leaving only the TV connected to your PC. Make sure your TV is set to AUX or Line-In. Otherwise, your graphics card will not detect the presence of a TV. Turn on your PC. The system should automatically detect your TV and send the video signal to your TV. If it does display the video signal onto your TV but stops once you boot into Windows, it may simply be a driver issue. You should download the latest drivers for your graphics card from: http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=drivers.

If you do not get a video signal on your TV when you turn on your PC, then this means that either your TV is not sending a video signal back to your graphics card to let it know that a TV is present, or that the TV encoder that handles TV output is not functioning. If you have a different TV to test with, please perform the same test to see if the TV-out is working. Check that none of the pins inside the video cable are bent or missing. If you cannot get TV output from any TV, then your TV encoder is probably defective. Contact your graphics card manufacturer or retailer where you purchased your graphics card from for possible graphics card replacement if your card is still under warranty.
