    I'm not quite understanding your problem here. Do you wish to output the
    signal from your PC to a TV instead of or as well as a PC monitor? Do you
    have the latest drivers for your graphics card? Is the TV connected to the
    PC?

    The generic solution:
    Turn TV on (no version of Windows can 'see' a device that is turned off.
    Reboot PC.
    Right click on the Desktop and select Properties. On the Settings Tab,
    click on Advanced and then on the Monitor tab. There should be an option
    here to either switch from PC monitor to TV or to use both devices.
