Hey I am having a little trouble setting up my TV out on my Geforce 3 Ti200. The lowest I can set my resolution in XP is 640x480 and the TV image is still scrambled. Also in the display settings window, the TV option is still greyed out. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
I might add I am having this problem since I installed winxp with a geforce2 mx2000 I have tried both svideo and rca outs, and different resolutions and output types, some output types come out in black and white, and some output types are almost getting there. but the normal setting is like you say. but I am using the default winxp drivers, and the dual output setting as there is no longer a tv out page...

methinks driver issue...
 
I also had this problem when booting i pushed F8 to bring up the boot options and selection enable VGA, the TV out then worked but i had difficulty re-enabling the GeForce 3 for some reason.
 
The black and white issue is probably the video card using NTSC on a PAL tv. Not sure if it is the same the other way around. My first advice would be to get the newest detonator drivers.
Regarding the gf2 mx 200, install the detonator drivers and go to display properties->settings->advanced there should be a twinview or nView tab, where you can change your settings. PAL/NTFS, clone/expand desktop and such

Hope this helps
 
yep, bugger that is what I did, and it is the most horrible looking thing you ever saw... and your right the black and white is pal on ntsc, but no matter what you try it doesnt look good. and also your right I have to use the twinview not the tv out... still it looks yukky js error; 67 on line; 36 of signature.class
 
you might want to define "yukky" a bit FatesWebb P-)
