Twin View?
Feb 26, 2004 12:56PM PST

Last I tried to use this feature it was called twin-view. Should be right-click-desktop>properties>settings>advanced>Geforce. I wasn't at all happy with picture quality.

Good Luck, Tom

It has been so long....
I know it won't show if the cable is not connected to the out. Cables connected proper?
Latest drivers, not Microsoft inherited?

Good Luck! Tom

Go to the Nvidia web site and download the integrated Nvidia driver, it adds all the capabilities to a Control Panel applet that should enable you to get this working.

Be prepared for real low quality output from that TV jack, computer video is barely usable on a TV.
