check from ur gfx cards control panel.. it might be disabled from there
(mostly on asus cards gets enabled automatically when u connect the tv before u bootup.. or connect the cable then do Detect Displays (what ever resembels for ur gfx card) and then define the propertis lile clone/resoultion(keep it 640x480)/signal type(PAL/NTSC) n stuff

and check that u are connecting the cable the right way(also if the cable has gone bad due to .. may be snagging n pulling)

also check the output type of ur tv-out signal matches the tv's should be PAL if the tv is indian.

secondly,for your querry if everything is fine,get the latest software update for the graphics to work and to give output to tv.secondly either make your tv clone of your pc or make it dual viewing.

I connected my leadtek 6600gt to samsung 29" TV with latest driver 91.31 installed. At first there was no display but after a restart the display was ther but it was black and white. After lots of effort and frustration nothing seems to bring the colors. So at last tried older driver (forceware 81.98 ) and walla color appeard and everything is working fine since then.
So maybe older driver would work for u.
