I have a ti4200 so the settings should basically be the same.

1) Use the MAIN vga output.... NOT DVI-I or the VGA adapter that plugs onto the DVI-I port. The DVI-I port on the card IS NOT accelerated.

2) make sure your monitor is set to PRIMARY DISPLAY.... see screenshot below.

One last thought. This wont stop it from working, but it will make it look proper on your TV once you get it working.

TV (non-widescreen models) has an aspect ratio of 3:4. That is to say your TV is 3 units HIGH and 4 units WIDE. To have the game properly centered on screen you MUST ALSO have your monitor's resolution set to a resolution that is 3:4 ex: 640x480 800x600 1600x1200 If you don't do this it will still work on TV no problem but your crosshair will be off center on the screen and you'll have the top/bottom and/or sides of the picture chopped off.

Now that I re-read your post and see your from the UK I might be wrong about the aspect ration since North America uses NTSC and UK uses PAL.
Try it anyway.
