I'm not sure what the problem on my older pc is, but here are the specs:
Athlon XP-M 2400+ (209x9.5= ~2.0ghz)
1GB of corsair xms DDR 400 ram
Stock 350 watt generic PSU
Built by Ati 9800 pro @ stock
viewsonic 19 inch monitor

I use an S-video cable to run the tv out to my tv when I watch movies and turn off my monitor. When i finish watching the movie, and turn on my monitor, it doesn't show any picture, yet the tv still has picture. I extend the desktop to my tv as well, so i didnt use the TV as my primary display device. What could be the problem? how come there isnt any picture on my monitor whenever I use tv out? I've tried various things, but I think it might be a driver issue.

I only lose the picture on the monitor when I actually turn off the monitor, but when i leave it on, the pictures stays on the monitor.

When you power your monitor back on, are you sure you just don't need to re-select the input?
 
it says my desktop monitor is the primary monitor, but no power when i turn it back on. I bring up the display properties tab on the tv.
 
yeah, which one would you recommend? i play counterstrike 1.6 and watch movies on it..
 
Something other than what you are using would be good :)
Try a different series
ie
...
179.xx
182.xx
185.xx
...
 
Thanks Nenu, it was a driver issue. Seems like all the older drivers had the same problem, until i got up to the 7.xx and 8.xx driver.
