Dual monitor - 2nd display [TV] showing black and white

Hi,

Thanks for any help in advance!!

2nd display is tv

new computer, freshly installed

downloaded latest nvidia drivers, and connected my tv to the computer, using standard vga cable to the adapter in the back

Simple...DON'T USE A PRE-1970's TELEVISION!

Sorry, couldn't resist it

Main things about using televisions is setting the resolution. Try reducing it.

Use the nVidia controls, don't use the Windows Display settings. There may be an nVidia icon in Control Panel or an nVidia selection if you right-click on the desktop.

If you find you are having no luck, there are walkthroughs at nVidia.

What about the rabbit ears on the tv? What should I do with those?

I forgot to mention that this is a new computer, and my previous computer worked fine with the tv when I hooked it up.

The video card I have came with an adapter that is for component, but this tv only has rca, so I used the adapter from my old video card, I am ASSuming that the video card can be used with an rca connection, the adapters are exactly the same except one has 3 connectors for component and my old one just has one connector for yellow rca

Thanks
