I hava an Asus Radeon HD3870 and Im trying to play games on my TV using the S-video cable from my graphics card to the TV. I also have my CRT PC monitor connected by VGA cable and it is working fine. I have gone into Catalyst control center and set the display properties to force TV detection. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and the catalyst control center, powercycling and all. When I right click the "2" icon denoting the second display in catalyst and try to enable it it doesnt work, it just reverts back to a grey "2" in half a second. there is an icon showing the TV in the "Attached displays currently disabled" section but when i right click on it nothing happens. A tooltip window appears when i leave my mouse pointer on the TV icon saying to click the right mouse button to enable it but nothing happens when i do. any ideas what i should try next?
