How do you disable the tv out function?

Question

I recently installed a dvd writable drive that came with the Cyberlink Power DVD software. When I try to play a DVD it comes up with an error that reads 'TheTV Out port of your display card is not working properly.' Then under detailed ' This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled.' I have a NVidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 video card and cannot find anywhere to disable the tv out. I do not have it connected to a TV nor will I so I just want to disable it. The Dell tech support person could not even tell me where to do this. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate the help.   Thanks Jay

Hi Chris,

I went to the the link you specified and then clicked on # 14 (go here for nvidia tv out help). It says to open up the Geforce2 MX properties and then click on the twinview tab. The problem is that there is no twinview tab. I have all the other tabs they display, but not that one. Any suggestions?

Thanks Jay

I also checked to see if there was an updated driver but I have the latest one.

Hi Chooch,      I never did find out how to disable the tv out, however if you are using the power DVD software from cyberlink, there is a patch for it on their website which I installed and it  works now.   http://www.gocyberlink.com/english/download/dl_patch.jsp?dl_id=82&ProdId=1   Hope this helps.   :smileyhappy:     Jay
