NVidia drivers
It may look pretty daunting but it does have the information you need about setting up your TV as a second monitor or the only monitor. You need to make sure you have the right nVidia drivers and not the rather lame ones that Windows installs by default. Dell may have supplied them, or better yet,

What drivers are you using? The drivers that come with XP are pretty lame, and are known for causing what you are describing.

I tried many nvidia drivers but have not tried degrading to DX8.1, should I try that now?

Resolution problems
They either have the Intel chipset (Mac Mini) or nVidia (MacBook). Both start up in VGA compatible mode by default, but which EFI puts in some non-VGA mode ..... Of course, it would be pretty easy to implement both. So you have one function that simply set the mode that the driver thinks is best (that would be a

NVidia drivers
IOW, do you have any other lame inane hoops you would like jumped through in order to simply prove your claim is exaggerated, if not flat out wrong. In Linux I noticed that it worked fine in framebuffer mode, and with the 'nv' driver for XFree. The NVidia driver, however, froze the system.

The alt.os.linux.mandrake FAQ
Gear is pretty easy to detect, and so is fairly easy to block via a server patch. The most insideous FPS cheats and the hardest to detect are transparent wallhacks: basically hacked nVidia drivers which render walls in CounterStrike et al transparent (hence the name).
