Help with 9800Pro - Pulling my hair out! (TV Detection)

[None Thanks]

Hi all, I really apreciate any help anyone can give me on this.

I have a 9800Pro with TV Out. I'm using the S-video port to connect to my
TV. It's being connected via the component port, I have an s-video -->
component (red, white, and yellow) cable.

I can "force detection" so the TV is a clone of my monitor but I don't know
how to make it so the TV is detected as a second monitor. Anyone that can
help me with this problem is awesome, thank you!

the force detection is used when the tv is not detected, or not detected
properly (therefor you can't enable it in the drivers)
whats the big deal, just enable the second monitor (in the windows display
settings part, not the ati display bit)
you can only have 2 outputs, you use the windows 2 to configure how you want
those 2 outputs to look like to windows, you use the ati tab to configure
which of the 3 outputs you want to use (well 4 outputs really, you can play
2 into the dvi port if you have an adapter for it)
