Hi. I asked this question earlier but didn't get a solution, so I am
asking it again.

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.

(The TV is connected and the composite / RCA cable plugged in to the
Video Out socket, as before.)

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)

Hi,

"I have installed the drivers recommended for me on the S3 Graphics
site, but still there is no option for TV out."

Are you sure you downloaded the correct driver for your device -- that
it is for the S3 Graphics ProSavage w/TV out and that it is for Win
XP?
