1st of all could you clear up what inputs you've got in the back of the tv? Is there s-video, or just composite (Yellow/Red/White)? Or do you have component there as well (Red/Green/Blue+White/Red(for audio))?

Did you try to connect monitor and tv at the same time?

If yes to above, have windows noticed that a second display is connected?
                          Were you able to clone displays?

Do you have option to enable tv output in your driver settings of your video card?

Hey, im new in this forum, but I've build a couple of arcade machines, anyway if you have and old VGA cable, you could make your own VGA RGB cable, the VGA is the same as the composit connectors, go on google and look for VGA to rgb how to.

Jrok also has one based on the Analog Devices AD725.  I've not used his design, but I built a similar device (with a few other application specific features), and the quality was excellent.  I didn't know S-Video could look that good (tested with a Sony Wega).

Thanks MonMotha, that's just what I was looking for.  It's cheap enough too that it's worth a try.

What resolution should I put my graphics card at? should I set it as low as 256 x 512? Could that be the problem on why I cannot get the signal onto my tv?

Maybe I missed it, but what is the exact model number for your 25" CRT Akai TV?

Have you found the manual for it online? (I know it's not the manly-man way to find the answer, but nobody's going to fault you at this stage.  :lol )
