Question

Are you using software to activate the TV-Out port, such as TV Tool ?

Si try the XP detonators for your OS from www.nvidia.com. Also make sure the svideo cable is plugged into the TV, as the option will be ghosted out if it isnt, when u go to change it.

The XP dets will give u better performance to.

super_si,

I have the same graphics card (got it at the weekend - very impressed so far!). If you want a copy of the original CD let me know and I'll get one in the post to you...
