How do I turn off the TV out function on the Video card on my pc?

This is the error I get when I tried to play dvds on my pc that are copy protected.



"TheTV Out port of your display card is not working properly."

"This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled."



Any clues or solutions on how to solve my problem?



The error code is from Power DVD, but I also can't play it in Windows Media Player.|||Presume your graphics card is Geforce4

This forum should help you, looks like you need to rollback or download the drivers to older version.



If its not a Gforce try looking at your graphics card manufacturers site...could be same/similar problem as above.

Good luck

Kworld TV Capture + FM PCI Card W/ Remote|||A video card does not let you capture TV on your computer-a tuner card does-Hauppauge and ATI both have such tuner cards. You can also recod to your hard drive for later playback. If you have XP or Vista media center, you want to get a card that is compatible with media center, incliuding the remote control.

PC Video card to TV issues..?

Okay, first tried a ATIX800 card into an Insignia 27" a while ago, got it working fine, but then I moved the TV closer to the computer, and when I reconnected everything, both the video card and the TV fried. This was through a 3 wire component cable. I replaced the TV with a HDTV (Insignia™ 27" Flat-Tube HDTV -Silver/Black Model: NS-27HTV) and the card with a [SAPPHIRE 100131L Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X]. When I hooked the card into the TV this time, through the normal yellow component cable, (1 wire, came with card) it fried the TV out on the vid card. My question is, I'm replacing the video card again, and want to use the TV above as an alternate display. It supports HDMI and such, but I want to avoid frying it. All units were off when connected, aside from this very last time, TV was on, comp off. Any ideas on why this is happening?|||well thats very odd to happen.... you can replace your card with any card it wont matter although you can purchase a standard DVI or VGA cable and connect your video card to your tv from that connection this will work an it is most likely garanteed not to fry your tv|||So you fried two TV cards and one TV so far?



Please, please PLEASE read the ******* manual before you hook anything up. It often has pictures and everything.|||It sounds like somehow you have the wiring incorrect.



Double check the manual for the TV AND the card!

This should tell you exactly how to connect which device in what manner.

Do I have to have a special video card for my pc to hook it up the an LCD tv?

My PC and LCD tv both have an RGB hookup. The PC video card is an integrated one (Intel® GMA 950). I'm not sure if the video card has to have a special tv-output to work. I'm planning on using a vga cord (SXGA)...I just want to be certain it will work before I buy the vga cord. Thanks...|||If they both have the same connectors then there is absolutely no problem in hooking them up.

Planning to connect my PC with an Nvidia Geforce 9800GT video card to a TV, need some help?

As stated, the video card is an Nvidia Geforce 9800GT, here is the page with info and specs

its handled great in my PC



Me and a friend will be moving into an apartment within the next 3 months, and we are not very keen on adding a satellite or cable bill to our rent,internet,and utilities. So we figured this would be a beautiful substitute.



(note:along with the card came a cable that connects to the Svideo and turns into what looks like RCA jacks, but they are not red,white,and yellow, they are red,blue,and green, and it looks like you plug jacks into them rather than vice versa)



So the main points I would like some insight on are these:



1.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889253200



I assume that this TV can have a PC connected to it, however, I don't necessarily know the best way to go about it, and also, what would be the best way to pull this one off.



If this TV doesn't work for what I'm trying to do, please, do point me in the direction of one that could, it would be very helpful.



2.If the above TV is sufficient for my needs, what adapters/cables/etc. would I need to complete the task



Any help would be greatly appreciated of course|||Nah mate, you don't want to do that... the reason why is that graphics card has DVI or S-VIDEO that would look horrible when blown up to 32". The resolution on DVI ans epically S-Video are Horrible..



I have a GForce 8600GT hooked up to my 52" plasma with VGA and it is really clear but you would want to go with ONLY VGA or HDMI from computer to TV. I tried DVI and S-Video and it looked really bad... don't spend the money



Here are some cards on Newegg that would work with a TV that has a VGA input... the best would be HDMI but the graphics cards would be a lot and it seems like you don't want to spend too much...

There are VGA to Component adapters but they are around 50 - 80 bucks so it would be the same if you bought a better graphics card... e-mail me if you have more questions..|||If you have just a plain s-video cable (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… then you just plug that cable into the back of the tv(the one you're looking at has an s-video port on the back). You will also need an aux. cable (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… because s-video don't transfer sound. The aux. cable just plugs into the sound port on the back of the comp. and then into the back of the TV.
