Dual display with GF3 ti200

I am wondering how to ge my get dual display working with my GF3 ti200. Let me explain my situation first. I just picked up 100 ft of S-video cable to hook up my TV down stairs to my PC. For obvious reasons I need to have access to my monitor to set everything up so I can use it to watch movies. I have had no luck, and fear that it may not even be possible with this card. I think I know the answer, but if any1 has any insight or help that would be great. Thanks for your time.

The maximum length for an S-video cable is about 50 feet. So you're going to have problems with this arrangement regardless of your video card setup.

You can get a DVD player for about $50, probably less than what you spent on the cable. Why not do that?

That is a good point, however, sometimes its easier to watch divx movies this way then having to encode them to VCDs.
