TV out jack from Sony laptop to TV

[shnosh]

I have a Sony Viao laptop PCG-GR370 with a 1/8" jack out to video RCA cable to connect to the TV. Always worked great.

I recently had the computer crash so I re-installed Windows XP pro from a real windows disk and not from the proprietary one that came with the computer (I lost the original disk).

Anyway, does anyone know how I can get that computer to recognize that the laptop is hooked up to a TV? Am I missing a driver?

The way it used to work was I would right click on the desktop and go to properties>settings>advanced>monitors and there was a selection for the TV.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Robbie

You are going to need to find the drivers for the video card. Those should have the app to recognize the TV. What video card does the laptop have???
