Hello,

The last NVidia product with 4600 nomination was GeForce4 4600 Ti, but that was an AGP card over 10 years ago.

Are you using by any chance an i3 / i5 CPU? If so, you'll find the drivers at www.intel.com .

Please post your system' specs, CPU/GPU included.

It's a pretty old system indeed... It does not matter though, if it's still getting the job done.

What kind of scaling problem are you facing? If you use the VGA interface and the image is slightly "derailed" to the left/right, use the TV software (its menu) to properly scale the image (Image Format, Auto config, etc., depending of the TV model).
Also, check for the refresh rate, it should be 60Hz.

The best way to elliminate the scaling problems is to use a digital connection. Your card has a DVI output, so use a DVI-to-HDMI cable (I guess your TV has HDMI inputs, being HD).

It seems you don't use the TV's native resolution, which for Full HD is 1920x1080. If you don't have this resolution in the NVidia Control Panel, most likely your GPU cannot output this resolution (I don't remember exactly where I read it, but GF2-GF3-GF4 cards seems to output only 1600x1200 when using the DVI port, while the VGA port goes up to 2048x1536).

You could try to use the Underscan function (NVCP --> Display --> Adjust desktop size and position --> "Size" tab --> Enable desktop resizing --> Underscan), but I doubt it will work with digital connections (DVI, HDMI).

thanx for the help, I really appreciate it. today I tried installing windows7 again, but a win7 (special). I mean the problem solved, I think when windows booted windows asked me which computer it is, I pick the option A also (Fujitsu Siemens) computers, and then the scaling problem solved, I don´t know how. but I am afraid anyway because I can´t install nVidia software from nVidia.com. only because the "black screen" after reboot. thanx for help ;)

Your card outputs now the native resolution of the monitor? Push the "Info" button from your TV remote control to find out the resolution displayed. How about the image quality?
