I have a GeForce3 Ti200 and the TV Out doesn't work. I can see me computer boot up on the TV but when I get to windows the screen just flashes. I downloaded the patch on the nvidia website that said it would fix this but it didn't work. All my drivers have been updated. My resolution is at 800x600 at 60Hz and at 16 bit color quality.

Anybody have any ideas?

usually that would work. What OS are you running?

Can you get the TV-Out to work when you're using the SVGA as the primary display? I'm not exactly sure how yours configures, but how do you select which output to use? Can you use mulitple outputs for dual display? If so, try booting normally with the SVGA, and then getting the TV-Out to work from a running windows environment.

Usually (or at least with mine and a someone I know's GF3) works like this. Shut totally down, disconnect your monitor, and hook up the TV out. If it dosent detect a monitor at boot, it will switch to the tv out.

I just tried what you sugested Uranium-235 and it is still doing the samething. I can't select what output to use. All I can pick is the Analog Display.

I just looked on the microsoft site and I can't find anything in the kb referring to your problem. If it shows your boot on the tv, it should show windows too. Download an updated driver from the people that manufactured your video card. That is your best bet.

Hi SBC and welcome !

One thing that is pre-requisite usually is that you must be using an NTSC Cable ready Monitor, had this problem once and that was the answer. If it is a dual type, Cable/Ant Mon, be sure it is set to Cable, the board does communicate with it to ascertain that fact.

Also forgot to mention that unless things have changed drastically in a yr or so, you will need to set to 256 colors.

My friends gf3ti200 can reach max resolutions in TV mode. I'm stuck with 800x600x32 max

Is it the Cord that is causing it to do this? I tried it on 2 other TVs and it is the samething. The cord I am using has a Left and Right Audio and S-Video.
I also went to Best Buy to ask some people and they said something about changing the clone. I couldn't find it in where he told me to look. Does anybody know what he is talkin about?
