1Shado: With the FX5200, you have to activate Nview, and you set up the displays as 1) The computer monitor and 2) the TV. Then you can turn on DUALVIEW.
This way, you can have your Desktop on your PC monitor, but by default any Windows Media Player, WinAMP, or Quicktime moovies will play on your TV screen.
For that to work, you have to have your Overlay set right. It is hard to just tell you what to do, you kind of have to tweek with it, especially with the Nvidia chipset. My Asus 7700 will NOT show on TV and Monitor at the same time, but that is an older chipset. The FX5200 has DUALVIEW capabilities and it works good.
You have to go to your Advanced Property Sheet for the 5200: There will be Nvidia branding on it: If it is not there, you have to install the Forceware that came with the card, it will turn on all that stuff.
In the advanced properties, you will see "Overlay Control" and you have to tell it Zoom Control Automatic: Then go to the "full screen video" control and make sure that the full screen video is turned ON.
Now, none of the stuff even can be accessed unless you have the S-Video Out plugged into the TV and the TV is receiving the signal: The only way you can tell, is if, when you boot up the PC, you see the POST on your TV screen as well as on the PC Monitor:
If you do not see the POST (The BIOS Boot Up) on both screens, you ain't got it set up right, check your settings on the TV and make sure that you have the proper output from the video card hooked up to the TV Input.
With today's TVs' even simple TVs like mine, it has several inputs, there is a front Component video input, there is a side input, and there is an S-Video input in the back: just finding the settings on the remote to activate the input is difficult, so you will have to have all your users manuals out when you go about to set this up.
Hope any of this helps, good luck.
