Tv out blanks computer screen

I am operating on Vista Home Basic(32 Bit)

I have a Nvidia 8600 GT screencard with DVI out, when I want to enable the
TV Out my main display blanks out and I can't reset it, so I have to use my
instalation disk to go to a restore point to get my display back. What can I
do to solve this ?.

On Windows XP Pro SP2 it worked fine with no problems.

System info:
ASUS P5n-E Sli M/b ( Bios is up to date), 2X 1 GIG 667Mhz DDR2, Nvidia 8600
GT screencard (Driver up to date for Vista X32)
