TV-out screen tearing
<font color="#009999">
I discovered the other day that my PC has both S-video and component/composite (whatever it's called, it's the one with yellow for video and red and white for sound) out. So I brought a TV in and hooked them up, then booted my computer. It worked fine for the booting process - all of the DOS screens and Windows splashes appeared normally on the TV and monitor. But when I acutally got into windows, I got some terrible screen tearing. I looked in Advanced Display Properties where there were some ATI tools for setting up TV display, but no matter what I would try, I couldn't get it to display normally. When I turned off the TV-out option, everything on the monitor looks just like always but with nothing on the TV.
Suggestions?

I'm in US. I've tried messing around with the standards, like switching between NTSC M and N or whatever other ones they had, but it didn't change anything.
If it helps any, my graphics card is an ATI Rage Pro 2x 8mb.
EDIT: How do you set up the TV so it's like a monitor? The only thing I've been able to find is changing the drivers for the monitor to Generic TV, and even then it's still the same.

A lot of older graphics cards don't support Dualview. That might be the problem.
When using my TV as a monitor, I can see and read the fonts when browsing through the internet, but it ain't as pretty as my <s>face</s> computer monitor.
Yeah, I'm currently living in Europe.

How would I go about setting up my TV as a monitor? The only way it'll display an image is if I change the display options with the ATI tools in the Display Properties>Settings>Advanced Settings area, and none of the options in there really do anything to change the image.
