Updating Video Display Board (For TV Out):

From time to time, there is the need to update the Video Display Board of the PC Main processing Unit, the system for various reasons, such as to provide a secondary Video Out (to VGA Monitor or a TV Monitor).

6. If the display on the TV screen shows at the system boot up but there is no display on the TV Monitor

after booting into the Windows 98, Adjust the Display resolution to 800 x 600 with 16 bit color. And restart the system.

7. If both the VGA and TV Monitor display are selected. The Displayed height on the VGA Monitor will

be changed you may need to adjust (enlarge) the height of the display using the scale button control of the VGA Monitor. This is due to the fact the sweeping signal of both displays has to be synchronized to that of the standard TV signal
