Using TV for Output

Comment:
I am trying to use my TV for an output device. I have an S-Video pluged into the output of my computer and into the the input of my TV. From previous experience on another computer, I know my next step is to change the setting on the Display Properties-Settings-Advance area. But I cannot find the option to switch the display to my TV.
Specs: Sony Viao with giga-pocket stuff NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 (Sony)

Have an MX440 as well, and have, in the past, connected my TV to it ...
But back then, I was using release 41.xx of the nvidia drivers. Now I have the latest update(5216). I haven't tried it with this one, but if you plug the TV in, the card should auto-detect it. If not, then DisplayProperties>Settings>Advanced>GeForce4>TroubleShooting has a 'detect displays' button. Does it work?

Someone suggested to me going into my BIOS and change NTCS to PAL or vice versa. I'll give it a try but what do ya'll think.
