Hello Guys ,

Today i was connecting my LG 29" Flat TV to my CPU using the S-Video Out on my GeForce 8600GT...Now when i start up my CPU with the TV connected in AV Mode , i am able to see the whole process of booting up quite clearly , but as soon as it gets over , now when the logon screen has to appear , the TV just goes blank with just 2-3 horizontal white lines ! What can be the problem ? Do we have to tune thru the nVidia Control Panel ! My PC's running on both Windows XP & Windows Vista !

Any help wud be highly appreciated !

Thnx

BBThumbHealer ! :)

8600 GT means you should have the nvidia control panel :D that is what is used in your system to manage dual display setup :D

please right click in your desktop and click nvidia control panel

now in the control panel left navigation look for option multiple display :) and set it up as per your need via on screen instruction :D

i meant that when i switch to the AV mode , the cable wire is still connected to my television set ! that means , i can switch b/w the PC and Cable simultaneously by just pressing a button on the remote

Do i need to disconnect the cable wire from my television set before starting my CPU ?

^^^ no that isnt your problem.... Cable wire has nothing to doo with AV input ..

it should work fine without any additional settings. Even i often connect my CPU (geforce 8400gs) to my 29" Sony Wega. It gets detected automatically. When i open the nvidia cp with my tv connected it shows TV as displays currently connected.

Try connecting the TV only and not the monitor.
