I just tried those two options but again neither of them works.....this is strange (and annoying).

^ Ok, I gave that a go but it keeps telling me it can't do certain things because its missing something - and I need to upgrade to the driver to Detonator 43.45 or later.

So I do that and I still get the same error message....

Any other ideas guys?

Did you try my idea? The forceware-drivers are the newest detonator-drivers, so just upgrade and you'll be fine...

If it tells you to upgrade, then... upgrade...

The driver issue still does not adress why the signal is not getting to the TV.

Laptops support directing the display to TV out even without Windows running - you should be able to see the Laptop actually boot up and run its BIOS routines etc on the TV screen

dingo ..... try going to the BIOS and see if u find anything ....

abbor - I gave that a try but when installing it tells me the setup program can't find any drivers compatable with my current hardware......

RC is right, its probably just a matter of enabling the s-video output - but how the f*ck do you do it? (Fn + F3/F4 doesn't work). :x

I have an NVIDIA GeForce4 4200 Go card in my laptop. All I do is Right Click on the 2nd display and select Attach, and it shows my PC desktop on the TV. But the only problem is it is in Black and White.. I see everything from the boot up screen to a Video I play, but all in B/w.. That Blows.. I mean I've tried everything, from changing TVs to Changing from PAL to NTSC to etc etc.. but still no luck.. Eventually I just Gave Up... I think NVIDIA hasnt really cracked it in many cards, or I think we're just doing it wronly over an over again!
