I have a question about outputtin from COmputer to TV.

My Current PC setup is with Dual Monitors one Geforce 4 MX 440 with S-Video out, and Gefore2 MX/MX400 with Video   
out (the yellow and S-Video). I have my devices all setup perfically for out put, this the conflic I'm running into.

On my 2nd Video Card (Gefore 2 MX/MX400 with output (the yellow Can't remember the name of it)). I plug it up to output  
and perfect, its able to clone itself and show on my second monitor and on my tv as well. . . I'm happy.

One day I bought an S-Video cable so I could do it from my primary monitor and output to video with premiere or whatever  
if I needed to. with the same setup I pluged in the S-Video to output from the primary video card (geforce 4 MX 440) and  
it doesn't work. I go into my my video cards' properties, and normal when I would have the option of choosing clone,   
horizontal stretch, or vertical stretch, it shows nothing, and I can't change the video card to output, basically its  
not recognizing the s-video cable pluged in for output. I plug the same S-Video cable into the Geforece 2, and it give   
the same reaction. Am I doing something wrong, or does my video card need a special S-Video cable. I'm thinking I need  
to order a specific S-Video cable for outputtin from my geforece card(s), I'm hoping not, but I'm hoping so, so that I   
can buy the $10 calbe (hopefully), and be able to output S-Video style.

thanks for the responces
