GeForce 7200 GS 256MB won't work with tv
Well, I bought this card today and have connected my standard CRT monitor to the VGA port; I've also made use of the S-video to RCA adaptor that was provided with the card to connect my tv to my pc (via the tv's RCA port).
When I configure the card to use the dualview mode then only the monitor will work, when I use the clone mode none of the monitors ge signal and I have to wait 15 secs for the original settings to come into action again.
What is weird is that whenever I use the vertical or horizontal modes, the tv works and I can see my extended desktop, but ONLY in 800x600!!! Also when I tried to watch a movie on the tv, it only showed a black block... While it would play off the monitor perfectly.
I've tried confiuring the dualview mode so that the monitor has it's usual 1024x740 res and the tv to have 800x600 res, but that also doesn't work.
I'm running XP and I've even tried swapping cables and reinstalling drivers.
Please help.
Thanks in anticipation!

1. Tv's only support max of 800x600 (technically less)
2. Windows has a built in ANTI theft BS protection that makes viewing video through an alternate output show up black boxed.
