TV OUT not working

I plug in the tv out and it doesnt show up. I plug in the audio and it works on my tv. I tried it on a laptop and it works perfectly. I really need someone to help me as I hadto cancel my TV service.

I found this video. http://www.svideo.com/displayvideo.html
I know how to do everything BUT it says to " drag icons to screen two and then resize them " how the hell do I drag icons to screen two?


edit 2: Its also really weird because I switch settings in the grafix menu's and it will like flash on for a second and then turn off again...

Re: TV OUT not working

Can you try other cords? Component or HDMI.

Tried a different composite cord? Just in case the one you bought is not working properly.

Which bits of the cord you currently use are you using?

Re: TV OUT not working

This is the only cord I have.

I tried just the s video and the yellow. Ive tried the adio alone (and it works) and ive tried it all together and just the audio works.

But like I said about, when I change a setting in the NVIDIA menue pertaining to it, it flickers ON and I can see my background for like 1 second, then nothing. I mean I gata get this to work. I have no cable right now and id like to lay down and watch something.. yuh know? And that cable works on a laptop. Ive tried. But, hey, its a 4 pin and the s video out is an 8 or something. Is that whats wrong? If so, why does it come on for a second?

And does anyone know who I can contact about this issue if noone can help? Microsoft?

Re: TV OUT not working

How are the TV signals going into your PC?

Do you have a TV antenna attached? where to?

or do you want to just display on a tv screen for games and such. You mentioned cancelling TV service...I'm not sure what you mean by that?

On you graphics card the your S plug is a seven pin...if you are plugging in a 4 pin that could be a problem.
