FX-5200 No Video on TV Out (all else okay)

Hi All,
Recently replaced my old AGP card with an FX-5200-TD128 so I could have TV out. Everything is okay except there is no video on the TV. It shows everything else though that is on the monitor.
The tv is connected via the composite cable adaptor that came with the 5200. The monitor is connected to the VGA port on the 5200. The computer is a P4 with XP Home. I have the displays set as 'Clone'.
I found that if I set the TV to be the 'Primary Display' instead of the Monitor that I would get video on the TV. But then the monitor wont show video and also it only shows part of the full screen.
Also found that I could get full screen video on the TV by changing 'Full Screen Device' from 'Disable' to 'Secondary Display'. But then the TV wont show any text overlays or the controls for the media player - only the video.
In researching past posts I found some with similar sounding problems. One solution was
"Overlay->full screen device->secondary display". This is rather cryptic to me, and I couldn't find any settings that matched.
I also found suggestions that with TV out being used the analog monitor cant be connected to the VGA port. (Seems Weird!) Do I need some kind of adaptor to connect my monitor to the DVI output?
Thank you very much for any help.

Went out and got a VGA to DVI adaptor. Have it installed and now all I can use is the 'Single Monitor' mode. Not able to do 'Clone' as I need to, and as I could before installing the adaptor. Can send the images to the TV by selecting 'TV' instead of 'Analog', but then the monitor is blank.
DVI Convertor is  a converter which converts DVI output to VGA output. You have mentioned it as a VGA to DVI adaptor. Does ur monitor have a DVI Input?? If not how are you connecting it to the monitor.

TV is Composite or S-Video. Mine is Composite, but since I was going to use the S-Video adaptor and plug into the S-Video port I selected 'S-Video'. Perhaps this is part of my problem.
IF ur TV has an S-video port then there shouldn't be any problem with ur selection.
Suggest to undo the changes, connect ur monitor back to VGA port and check whether you are able to use the TV out individually. If yes then use a DVI to VGA connector and connect the analog video cable from the Monitor to the output from DVi-VGA Converter. Use the same composite cable or S-Video out and check out whether you are able to clone the images.
Good Luck

  • IPOD Videos - Adding videos without wiping out all data

    I am sure a few of you have run into this problem. Your computer hard drive is too small to hold all the music and videos to fill up your IPOD. I have run out of space. How can I continue to load videos from this point on without deleting any of the current data on my IPOD. Any assistance would be appreciated. thanks

    You can delete songs/videos from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
    However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music/videos would be erased. If you no longer have the music/videos in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
    What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
    At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost.

  • T61 - wireless weak/limited connectivity - ruled out all else

    Argh, T61 working fine with various wireless connections until about 2 months ago - no change in settings that I can pinpoint. I have checked Linksys router and cable company. Colleague runs her computer fine 3 feet from me(Dell). I tried the repair option but no go. So I have done all standard ipconfig/[..] stuff. I have downloaded updates. I have chanted(ok just kidding). Today I did a Network diagnostic scan and the DNSServer search order failed on a ping thing. Interesting because it said it was not getting the received packets. When I look at my connection I see there is activity being sent but very little coming back. Outlook, etc are all painfully slow, and then they give up the ghost.

    go into your control panel, system, hardware property, right click on your wireless card. Make sure the power output is maximum, roaming aggressiveness low, and windows power saving feature is off.

    Do you see them on the phone? If not, they are NOT "still in the phones hardware".
    It's hard to suggest a course of action when we don't know what you did and you are unable to tell us.
    If they are not on your computer, and they are not on the phone, I don't know what else to suggest...

    Connect the iPod to your computer. Click on the iPod under Devices and iTunes. How large is the "other" category as shown in the colored bargraph? If larger than about 3/4 GB, restore the iPod. That large of "other" indicates corrupted files.

  • How to get plain old S-video and Composite out from a MBP?

    Hi,
    this question is about someone's MacBook Pro he newly bought with adapters to get both DVI and Svideo/Composite Out.
    He got Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D converter, and a DVI-I to video converter, that cannot be plugged into a DVI-D port. Apple removed the analog capability of its adapter, that's bad. But what's badder is there doesn't seem to have any Mini DisplayPort to Svideo/Composite adapter, as there was with previous generation machines.
    How can someone easily output analog video from MBP?

    In fact, I recognize that these standards are old, which doesn't mean they're not up-to-date. Similar example, VGA connector is old, but perfectly useful, even in 2009. I recently plugged a 22" LCD with VGA and DVI on the same computer (a bland desktop PC), and there was strictly no difference. Same color depth, same crisp display. Even looking at a corner with a magnifier, nothing was different.
    So, changing standards just for the sake of it doesn't make any sense.
    Agreed that, as a pro, Apple would like me to buy their pro line, but nowhere in the pro line does an easy solution exists for S-Video and composite out. The solution you posted exists, but is unwieldly and not neat at all, if it doesn't break the Mac's connector under its weight. If a manufacturer can do this kind of adapter, Apple can do it better, and make a bigger profit out of it.
    For the adapter you posted, I don't ever buy anything that is not at least Mac+Windows compatible, or at a minimum is open-source, so anyone with programming skills can make something. The manufacturer also doesn't give a clue on how this works. I guess some sort of virtual driver sits in the system as a virtual IEEE1394 port so any program requiring FW can work transparently. Still, incompatible with the OS that most manufacturer ship their new PCs with, poor commercial decision, wether you like the OS or not.
    Adding FW in the MB unibody design wouldn't have cost anout $30. Rather, we're talking about a 25 cents chip, a 25 cents connector, which they would have rounded up to $20 and still, that was present in previous-gen MB. After all, they are indeed selling a matte screen on the MBP 17" for $50 more, despite them removing a single piece of glass which may cost, well, let's be fair, $5 to manufacture? That's dishonest. And capitalistically justified.
    So far, choosing a Mac for one's needs is no easy task: older white MacBooks have the same power as unibodies, excellent connectivity, top notch transfer speeds, BUT are heavier, as not as ecologically friendly nor do they have future-proof RAM standard. The unibodies are sleekier, easily recycled and will be able to be upgraded in the near future BUT is most likely unable to use current devices and have slower transfer speeds.
    For Pro models, the newer ones have great efficiency, much power and flexibility with their dual GPU BUT lost the option of matte screen, although their other pro-oriented monitors still default to matte. Only the 17" has the option. If a pro already finds his 15,4" bulky and with ample reserve power, will he buy the bigger and heavier 17"? Probably not.
    I understand that Apple way of doing business is keeping only what's essential with no unnecessary options (I'm looking at you, Asus, with you at least 10 different versions of you netbook). But this time, not everyone can find what he or she wants in Apple's line of laptops, as opposed to the iPod thing, where virtually any possible preference is covered.

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files

    And for screen recording specifically, there's

    I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile.  For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day.  It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem?  tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
    If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process.  Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • I have a Power MAC G5 dual 2ghz that has a peculiar problem.  The monitor will not report until the machine is stopped and started 5 or 6 times.  Once booted it will restart without problem if done so from the apple menu.  Swapped out all hardware

    My Power MAC G5 has a peculiar problem.  The monitor fails to report until the machine is started and shut down 5 or 6 times.  Once it has booted it can be restarted without incident from the Apple menu.  I have swapped out all of the hardware.  Monitor, Memmory,Video Card and reset the PRAM.  After resetting the PRAM it booted on the first attempt and I thought it was solved.  But the next day it was back to starting and stopping until the Monitor came on.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  Thanks

    It could be a bad PRAM battery corrupting your PRAM.  Typically when I have monitor issues on startup it is a bad PRAM battery.

    If you have a digital multimeter you can check the condition of your present battery.  It should read at least 3.2V if it is the 3.6V half-AA battery type.  A new battery provides 3.67 Volts DC. A bad battery provides under 3.2 Volts DC.  Ideally this should be measured while the battery is under load; added recommendation from Hans777:
    >I have recently found out that an exhausted battery will still indicate >3.6 V with a high internal resistance VM.
    >
    >Checking incircuit: powercord disconnected press PMU reset button for >about 5 sec before measuring.
    >
    >Checking outside: load the battery with a 1500 Ohm resistor when measuring.
    Alternatively, test the battery while it is still in the computer.
    If the battery is more than 5 years old, especially if you totally disconnect the computer from the power regularly, or have left it unplugged for several months at one time, it is likely the battery is dead.
    Sometimes you have to do a more intensive reset of hardware management:

  • Does GeForce 7350LE video card fan run all the time or at certain temperatures?

    I have a HP Pavilion m8147c  Media Center with AMD Atlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz  3GB Ram and when running lately the monitor has started to go into sleep mode or something.Sometimes there is a warning that says something like no signal from DVI and one more but doesn't stay on long enough to read it all.I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.I had just installed a new game but pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I used System Restore and backed up to a time before it was installed.At first it was only when playing games but now it happens with hardly anything running.This pc was bought in july 2007 and I have another desktop but I let my wife use one and I use the other.I opened the case and cleaned out all the dust but noticed when I started it up again the fan is not running on the video card.I don't know if it comes on at certain temps or runs all the time but I feel this is the problem.It has been on for about an hour and not come on at all.Any information will be appreciated.

    Hello captna, Usually when you purchase a new video card or other hardware device, the drivers that are included on the CD are an older version, sometimes as much as six months old. The chipset on any Brand of a given model would be either an Nvidia or an AMD ATI.
    The chipset is the main component of the video card that controls most of the operations of the video card.
    Since all the manufacturers of the Nvidia video cards use the chipset purchased from Nvidia, they are all the same chipset for any particular model. The different manufacturers can and do add or enable features for their particular cards, but the chipset is still the same.
    Since the drivers from the manufacturer would be an older version, and Nvidia releases new versions quite often, it would be best to use the Nvidia drivers, since they would have updated fixes and sometimes features, and added support for some newer cards.
    Your reference to the Memory Interface on both cards is 64 bit, has nothing to do with your version of the operating system. It just relates to the way, and speed of the interaction of the video card with the system (buss).
    The higher the number of the Memory Interface, the more data that can be moved in and out of the video card, which results in a faster video performance. This just becomes important when playing games for the most part.
    Using the system just for web surfing, emailing and some light gaming, would not have that much effect on the system.
    More important to the system would be the amount of video card onboard memory. The Gigabyte has 1 GB of onboard memory compared to your original video card with 128 MBs of memory. This additional memory would likely show a slight performance increase in any light gaming.
    You want see much, if any difference in the performance of your system, with the exception of perhaps the light gaming performance increase, with the new Gigabyte video card over the  GeForce 7350LE. You should not  experience the heat related issue as you had with the faulty fan on the  GeForce 7350LE.

  • Trying to play videos on my MacBook- All I get is grey screen!

    My MacBook will not play videos I have bought from the iTunes store. None of my T.V. shows or Movies will play, but music will. When I select the video, all I get is a grey screen with no audio. The time meter goes, but I don't hear or see anything.
    Strangely, my downloaded videos from YouTube are all working fine. I have a Dashboard Widget that allows me to get YouTube videos on iTunes, which go in the "Movies" section, and they all play properly.
    I can also play the videos on my iPod, a black 30GB Video.
    Does anyone know what's wrong, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks.

    I too have exactly the same problem. I don't know if it is related to the recent upgrade to 7.6.3 of iTunes since I don't watch my movies too often but I suspect it is. I have tried to change to previous libraries that contain the movies but to no avail.
    Please, if there is anyone out there who has any clue as to what may be the problem, respond.
    It's very frustrating since I bought and paid for these movies and TV shows I would like to view them occasionally now and in the future and since I would like to purchase some full length movies from the iTunes store butr whats the point if they don't show up?.

  • Itunes wiped out all data now ipod is corrupt

    I bought my 80g ipod classic in March,08 and have never had problems until two months ago. Several times after disconnecting, I found that itunes wiped out all the songs and video. The first time, I lost over 8000 songs and never realized it until I was in the car on a long road trip. My playlists were gone, 14 movies and many video clips. My pictures and games remained however. Problems continued periodically. Sometimes it would eject immediately after connecting. Then it would connect, but not sync anything. Now itunes will recognize it, but says it needs to be formatted then restored. I didn't want to lose everything, but now it has wiped out games and pics also. It is like I just bought it. I have updated itunes to 8.0 and tried to update my ipod as well. Now it is telling me that it can't be restored and that my ipod is corrupt. This is my second ipod, the first was a 20g with pics and I used and abused it to death and NEVER had a single problem until it just quit working. I have my computer set to update automatically for itunes and this all started right after it completed an update of some kind. I have a 2 year warranty, should I relace it? Also, will I lose all the games I bought?

    I just upgraded my itunes and now my IPOD won't play any of my songs. Everything is still ther, will let me navigate etc, but just won't play!
    Very dissapointed!
    Worst, i can't get my music off my IPOD now, because ITUNES doesn't allow it. And worst still, when i take it in to get a replacement, they simpy take my IPOD and away and give me a new one.
    I'm seriously put off!
