[Carrara] Re: Video card - I FOUND IT! [ the TV OUTPUT FUNCTION that is :) ] 2004-02-13 - By ccoles_avengers

Hi Harvey, (Hey, Naomi)
Well, I found it! It is hidden within a *series* of features, but
first you have to have your video card *performance* rating set at the
THIRD OR FOURTH NOTCH (found in the advanced display properties
settings on the desktop). After you reboot, then you right click on
the Desktop > Display properties > Settings > Advanced > GeForce
FX5200 > (left pull-out tab) > nView Display Mode > nview mode
(clone) > Device Settings > Select Output Device > and then select
"tv" and work it on out from there (sorry, I can't review any further
or my own settings will get messed up).
Any way, I hope this helps.
Cheers.
