Post subject: Can TV-out be enabled from a boot-disk?
I've recently transferred all my operations from an old 1Ghz tower to
a laptop, and soon after my only monitor breathed its last. I'm sure
it's impossible to to run the VGA port from the tower into my laptop,
but is there any way to make a boot disk to force the Geforce2 MX into
Tv-out mode?
Otherwise I'll have to lug a monitor home from work to change the
video card settings. Yuk.
(or is there a "VGA to USB" connector out there that would let me see
what the tower is displaying via my laptop?)
Thanks!

What operating systems are each running? If the remote
registry service is enabled on the desktop and both are
WinXP or 2K, you can connect over a lan from the laptop and
add or edit some registry entry to enable it, but
unfortunately I forget which registry entry!

Safe/VGA mode doesn't work?

I'm sure the PC itself is working fine, I just can't see what I'm
doing to change the graphics card settings to TV-Out! The tower is
W2K, the laptop is XP.
I think I'll ask some of the neighbours if they have a monitor to lend
me for 10 minutes. It's a pity those graphics cards can't sense what
output they're connected to. I guess the TV just doesn't send any
signal back to the card to let it know anyway.
