    Video output...

    How can I output Video to a TV?

    I have the AV connected right - in DOS mode, the display appears on the TV, but when Windows starts (98) it disappears...

    Is it possible to output the display straight to the TV, so I can sit on the lounge and work?

    Hmm... if I go from Win->DOS Mode->Win, the output is all to the TV. I wonder why?

    Oh well, it works. That'll do.

    Now I wonder if that'll work with Win2K...

    I don't know. A **** one that I can't seem to get to give me more than 16 colours...


    My other PC (my good one) has a video output, but I can't get it to go to the TV from Win2K and there's absolutely no help on it at all...

    in control panel->display->settings->advanced->monitor did you switch it to output to your tv?

    my old computer has a vid card like that, you need to switch the settings to output to tv or your regular monitor

    Hmm, that is tough since you don't know what card it is...

    Don't know what to tell you...perhaps you could look for some markings on the card?

    Maybe it's an old ATi Rage 3D card. They were popular budget cards for a long time a few years ago.
