monitor select radio button greyed with tvout

[Guest]

hi,
a friend has a tnt64 card and although he manages to get the PC screen to appear on the TV after toggling the radio button in display settings/advanced/tvout he cannot return to monitor view as the radio button is greyed out.
it returns to monitor mode if u uninstall the card and install without the nvidia drivers but if i install with the drivers provided on the cd it comes back to tv view again and without the monitor option again!!!!! any ideas people? cheers in advance
si in the UK

what happens when you just unplug the svideo ( i am assuming that is what is used to connect that card to the tv) cable from the card or the tv? does the monitor just stay blank and the tv is blank, or are there any beeps, or does the monitor resume operation.
i dont know what happens when i unplug my svideo cable on my msi-831 geforce2 pro, but my toggle switch stays and i am able to switch back and forth between the two...as long as i boot the computer up with the tv plugged in...
i think that as a failsafe, the card should reselect the monitor. i havent had enough experience with tv-out...i am still learning...but i am just saying this stuff out of common logic....
any one else have any ideas/knowledge?
