hey anyone especially larry... i cant get my computer into clone mode or well any mode except single display /laptop display. i want to use my s-video out to show my display on my new 27"flat screen tv. i know the tv input works with a dvd player but my computer just doesnt want to use the s-video out or allow me to switch modes... i hooked up the audio out to a set of awesome speakers and i would love to play games and well help!

larry do your drivers allow the s-video out? i thought you had the devices connected at 255 but now i dont see that line in the inf anymore... should i try pieters?

i found some related items. not sure if it would help

HKLM,"Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak", NvCplAllowedTVFormats, %REG_DWORD%, 0xfff

HKLM,"Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak", NvCplAllowForceDVIAsHDTV, %REG_DWORD%, 1

HKLM,"Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak", NvCplAllowForceTVDetection, %REG_DWORD%, 1

Mine should work but please try both and let us know what happens.

You may need to be connected to the TV when you boot. Give that a try and see if it helps.

With newer INFs I've had to disable forced TV/CRT out.

You HAVE to connect a device first before it will reecognise it in the display properties.

I had to do this as with 65 series drivers my tweak would forget the Color settings (if changed from default on reboot)

I see that 66.00 forgets it anyway.

It would only forget the color settings when running a "3rd party" application or game.

  • 65.73 and 65.90 are very similar drivers, with none of the problems we've seen in previous 65.xx and 66.xx drivers. Benchmark scores are good and very consistent.
  • 66.00, on the other hand, has some odd exceptions:
    - 3DMark01 never completes. After running all tests, instead of displaying a result, it just loops back to the first test and runs again ...and again ...and again. So no 3DMark01 result this time around.
    - We've had at least one machine report a driver failure on installation, though it seemed to work okay after a reboot.
    - We've had at least one report of Warcraft features not working with 66.00.
  • Morrowind's interior lighting, which was mishandled by 65.62, works fine with all three of these drivers, which have reverted to the traditional 5x.xx/6x.xx architecture. It appears nVidia has abandonded (at least for now) some of the more radical changes we saw in 65.62.
  • 65.xx and later drivers are fully compatible with both SP2 and DX9c, so if that's your need, give 65.73 or 65.90 a try. 66.00 needs a bit more time to mellow.

NOTE: In all three of these drivers, if you want to apply external color settings to games (including digital vibrance, brightness, contrast, and gamma), you need to create or modify an Application Profile on the Performance and Quality page of the nVidia Control Panel.

These results can be discussed in the Benchmark Section of the Forum over HERE.

NOTE: I use a home-grown inf (especially modded & tweaked for DELL's Inspiron 5150), which can be found HERE.

Pieter's version may perform quite differently.
