From you are describing, sound like your cable is not at par / condition OR
your card where the S-Video / RCA maybe defect.
The - detect displays tab - is meant to force or try to detect if TV is
attach.
BTW -
When you booting up your PC and while your TV is attach [assuming], do you
see display on your TV while during booting process?
If you do not see any display, I would and assume your TVout on the card or
the cable maybe the issue.
Enable TV out -
