Video Card Software Issue

Ok. Here is my build:

nForce3 250, socket 754, 800HT, DDR400
2X 256MB DDR400 (512)
AMD Athlon 64 2.4Ghz
Nero DVD+R
NVidia Geforce FX5500 256MB AGP8X
Windows 98se

It's not very impressive, but it's a gift for my sister. The only problem I have is that when I hook a tv to it, and play anything where the video card pretty much has to kick in, the tv doesn't display it at all. (DVDs, video games) I tried using the tv as the only display, and when I went to play Splinter Cell2 the computer froze, and the CD tray turned off (I couldn't get my disk back until I restarted the computer) Everything works decently on a monitor (other than freezing when I go to play splinter cell sometimes) But does not work for the tv at all. I used the original software I got, and then the lateset driver from NVidia. No luck. Any ideas? Could it be the software for my DVD-CD drive?

 

Are ye using the s-video connector on the video card? Or does your tv, have a vga - input?

 

Yes I am using the video port, and the original cable that came with it. No one seems to be able to figure it out. In a few days if I get time maybe I'll delete the CD drivers, and see if that clears it up.
