Missing full screen device (video overlay)

dividedsky319 · 09-13-04, 09:42 AM

I'd like the video overlay to go to full screen mode on the tv my comp is hooked up to... in other words, open up a movie on my PC, and it shows on my PC, but it blows up to full screen on my tv (hooked up via s-video)

I used to do this by making "full screen mode" be the "secondary device" in my settings, but this doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

It worked for a while, until I accidentally pulled the s-video cable out and opened a movie, which must have disabled it.

I have a TI4200 with 61.77 drivers. Any ideas?

could try cool bits 2.0, this could give you the option you've been looking for. failing that, you could try this tv-tool for nVidia cards: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download403.html .
supports the following tv chips:BT868, BT869, CX25870, CX25871 and CH700x. you can find your tv encoder chip model in the nvidia display properties
