graphics card issues

Hello, I'm having some issues with my Nvidia Geforce MX400...I can't get it to work with my tv. I have the card with the tv out option, but when I set it all up all I can get from the tv is an occasional flicker...I tried it with both s-video and composite with the same result (only a flicker when the computer searches for outputs). I have the latest Nvidia driver update available so I can't see that being the problem. But even when I connect the tv, the computer recognizes another device because it allows me to select the clone option...but it doesn't allow me to set the second device to "TV" because the option is grayed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my nVIDIA Geforce 2 MX400 card. It seems that the latest drivers from nVIDIA that I had where even worst than the previous one. The latest version 41.21 (I think) didn't let me use the s-video output and all I had was flickers on my TV as you described. The only way I got it to work was to downgrade back to version 30.71 and then it worked again
