Hi. For some time I have used my TV as a second monitor on my Windows
PC, so that I can watch DVDs/ downloads etc.

However, since upgrading to Windows XP, there is no setting which
allows me to output the video through the video socket.

Before, I was able to choose a TV option from within the Advanced
section of Display Properties / Settings. Now in that section the 'S3
Devices' tab shows only my CRT monitor as a Display Device, and
doesn't allow me to select a TV.

I have installed the drivers recommended for me on the S3 Graphics
site, but still there is no option for TV out. So there must be
something I am missing, or something which is not working since the
upgrade.

Please suggest a solution or another app I can use to give me TV out.

My system is as follows:

Windows XP Home 
Hewlett Packard Pavillion 7920
S3 Graphics ProSavage KM133 (AMD Duron processor)
TV out socket is a composite (RCA type adapter)

Hello, horseradish:
  Just a quick question that may sound silly, but there are some
nvidia cards with tv-out capabilities that doesn't show that options
until they detect there is some device attached to the tv-out. Do you
have connected the device when Windows XP loads?

Regards.

Thanks for your response. There is a composite / RCA cable currently connected. 

Also, I downloaded an app called TVTool which is designed for NVidia
cards and it wouldn't work because it told me it didn't detect an
NVidia card. I suspect this means that it's not actually an Nvidia
card in my machine, but I'm not sure.

Hello, horseradish:
  Sure it's not an nvidia card, but it was just a quick answer to see
if I could help.
