This could be because you don't have the right type of connection selected or that your tv is incapable of providing that signal in which case all you are doing is sending the picture one way from the computer to the tv.
In the Nvidia control panel under the heading "Change the signal or HD format" do you have the tv and monitor showing?

I don't have a heading like that in the control panel.Before i read your most recent reply,for which i thank you.I went back 3 weeks & did a system restore at a date before i started trying to connect the tv.
In the control panel if i select advance i now get the following.
(1) choose the nview display mode to use.
Only use 1 display (single). this is preselected.
The same for both displays (clone)
Configured independently from each other (dual view)
I now have clone & dualview back,don't know why.
(2) select the display you would like to use.
My monitor is shown here.
if i open the drop down,my tv is also shown.
(3) select the display you want windows to use as primary.
my monitor is shown here.
all seems well up to here.Now if i return to (1) & select clone,my monitor & tv disappear from (2) & is replaced with 'my display is not shown in the list' i can also click on something similar which will attempt to find the missing displays but it doesn't find them.
If i start again in (1) & select 'use 1 display (single) my monitor & tv are again available in (2)
If i select tv in (2)
Tv also appears automatically in (3)
If i then click apply the pc display will go blank & should display on my tv.This what happened when i tried this.But i am then left with what may or may not be a problem.
If i do this & the pc goes blank & the display for some reason doesn't appear on the tv,how do i reverse the proceedure if i can't access the pages.
Which brings me back to the FAQ.about this where Mesh said,the 'smart'thing to do is to use the clone option.
Although'clone' is now back it still doesn't work.
I'm at a point now where i'm about to say enough is enough & give up on it.
I'm wondering if this is possibly an issue in VISTA.
