BanZai Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hello Guys...! I want to connect my TV via S-Video-Out. With the original Drivers of my Acer Aspire 5920G - no Problem! But after installing the new Drivers from Laptopvideo2go (163.x --> 169.28) - No real signal on my TV. Just some flickering while opening the Control Panel!!! The weird thing is that (in Control Panel) my TV is shown as a HDTV.... but it isn't a HDTV... just an old TV!! I am running Windows Vista (32 Bit) Hope anyone has got an Idea!

Kinsky Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 The solution ist very simple: stick to the running driver. I also spent huge amounts of time trying out new drivers and I got back every time to my old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf314 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 yeah but the dell drivers are s***ty. 156.55 works slow plus heats up quickly. try Xtreme G mobile 163.67 from tweakforce.com . they work fine with dell. tv out but not overclockable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanZai Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 What a great tip - when i stick to the old working driver, i'll loose about 10% performance.... :) But i'll try the one from Tweakforce, thx for advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hinin Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 On a related note, this exact problem has been reported to Dell and forwarded onto their hardware guys (I also run a Vista Inspiron 1520 with the 8600M GT). A change to the nVidia UDA reference drivers appear to have introduced this problem around end of 2007 / beginning of 2008 since that's when the failures started (can't remember the exact revision), but the last beta driver I tried from nVidia in December 2007 still worked and everything else since breaks. The tests were done using INF files from laptopvideo2go.com and drivers from nVidia. Now I guess it's a matter of waiting to see if a solution is forthcoming...

Guest Thornberg Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I have the same laptop as in the threadname, and it worked perfectly to watch video on my tv via S-VHS with the pre-installed drivers. The only problem was that the latest games i had (Bioshock, Crysis) didnt work for me at all. So i installed 163.44... An amazing driver update, both Bioshock and Crysis are working perfect right now, at high resolution and everything. But my TV-out is pretty f*cked up right now! Instead of showing my movies fullscreen, the moviescreen is smaller than my tv-screen, so you have a very irritating edge around your movie, and the movie is too small. Also, after a while of trying to fix it, my tv screen gets the status of first original screen :S the only way to fix this is to reboot. Is there anyone who can help me out? I love the way my games are behaving right now, so i dont want to loose that... But i wish my tv-out would work like it did before. Just a copy of my laptop screen ALL OVER my tv screen. Perfect... tnx alot in advance grtz, Menzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
