S-Video and MSI NX6600 PCI-E

[tmuldoon]

Hello,
I have this MSI card and it has an S-video out jack. It came with an
s-video cable with 3 rgb cables connected (RGB). I plugged that into
the S-Video jack of my LCD TV - switched it to S-video. No video -
just a blue screen?

Should I not be able to see my my desktop when that happesn.

Ulitimately I want to be able to run Windows Media playe through it to
my TV.

Any suggestions how to get the S-Video working on it?

Thanks,

Tmuld

Sounds like an NVidia 6600 GPU. With my older NVidia card, you would do
this:
Control panel -> Display properties -> Settings -> Advanced
Click on the tab for "NVidia XYZ card" (whatever it's called)
On the left pane that just flipped out, click "NView settings"
Select "Clone (TV and XYZ display)" where XYZ is either analog or digital
depending on your monitor. Click OK.

At this point you should see the same desktop on both your monitor and
your TV. Read the manual for more advanced settings.
