If you make sure you connect your cables to your TV (I seem to remember on my system that the audio also had to be connected) and switch the TV on, then start the Nvidia Control panel.

You shoud see, under 'set up multiple displays' the three options:
Use only one display (Single)
The same on both displays (Clone)
Configured independently from each other(Dualview)

Once clicked on Clone, 'Select the displays you would like to use' should show both your Monitor + TV

'Select the display you want Windows to use as primary' should be set to your monitor.

Click Apply and your monitor resolution will change and if you have your TV set to the correct input, the display should also appear there.
You should get the option to keep this setting before it times out and returns to normal after about 30 seconds.

Hope this helps
Thanks Eejit

For the TTL explanation.

I do get the things you list including the settings option to accept.i can do all that for single view. It all goes wrong when i select clone

In nvidia control panel i get the 3 options when i select 'advanced'. Only single view in 'standard'.

Single, Clone & dualview.

Single view is preselected.
Clone is available
Dualview is available.

In (2) i open the drop down & my tv is there with my monitor.

In (3) my monitor is there as primary.

While in single view,i can select tv from (2) & it will register there & tv will appear in (3) where monitor was showing as primary.

If i click apply i have got the display on the tv & the pc has gone blank,which in single view i was expecting.

It all goes wrong if i select clone.

But if i start again & do as you suggest & i have done this many times,& select 'clone',my monitor & tv options disappear from (2) completely & they are replaced by 'display is not shown in the list'

My monitor is still in (3) as primary.

So,i have been able to transfer the pc to the tv but only in single view.The reason i'm not happy doing it this way is because i'm not that well versed in pc tech. matters & am concerned that i might be up the creek if i click apply & both pc & tv go blank.

There appears to be a problem somewhere if i'm losing options when 'clone' is selected.I just don't know why or how to fix it.

Incidentally i was only able to get the tv view with the S.Video cable.
