I have a creative 3D graphics blaster -geforce 3 Ti 500.
I just bought a s-vhs (super vhs) cable in order to hook the pc to my Tv and play movies etc, BUT !!!!!
Here's the problem,
When I can manage to get any kind of pic on my Tv screen it usually starts to roll and then the pic just kinda scrambles and thats it,,, I have to re-boot pc etc to start again.
What I have noticed sometimes though is that if I start the pc in safe mode then the pic will stay on the TV screen although it looks crap and all out of line.
You may think that would indicate a driver problem then cause safe mode stays alive,, but whats strange is that I've tried a few drivers, new ones and slightly older ones,, i have installed them all in the correct manner i,e - uninstall first then re-install etc,, but they all act the same crappy way.
Another crazy thing is that in the display properties in the geforce section (control panel), I cant adjust the settings from analog monitor (pc) to TV, its all greyed out in that area and i cant physically change it (cant click on it).
The only way I can get any kind of pic on the TV is to unplug my pc monitor and leave the TV in on its own and then re-boot the computer, thats the only way a pic will appear on the tv, safe mode or no safe mode.
Correct me If iam wrong,, but should I not be able to run two seperate screens (monitor and TV) with this type of video card ???
And another thing I should say is that my TV is a bit of ok too, has s-vhs and all too.
Maybe its got something to do with some setting somewhere, I'am not sure cause I'am new to using a Tv as a second monitor.
Anyone any Idea's ?????? cheers for now,
