TV-out stopped working

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati (More info?)

Hi ng

I own a Radeon 9600 XT with a tv-out, which I use to watch avi-movies on my
TV.
However, when I installed Windows XP service pack 2 and updated my ATI
driver to the latest Catalyst, suddenly my TV can't be detected.
When I to "ATI display settings", "Advanced", Diplay tab, I can't activate
my TV.
I checked the cables, and the TV's on.
Any solution, other than formatting and reinstalling all over?

TIA

Thanks for the quick reply.
Still doesn't work. In the Catalyst Control Center, I'm choosing "Force TV
detection", and then in the Displays manager, whenever I press "Detect
Displays" or if I press the number two display box, I'm asked if I wish to
enable display, but nothing happens.

Thanks for the reply

Nothing happened when I boot up with only the TV.

After uninstalling the Control Center I can now force detection of my TV and
get
a nice picture, but when I play AVI-movies I get a black screen on the TV,
but it looks
normal on the monitor.
How do I correct this, so that I can watch the movie on my TV?
