Wind2bay, I have the SAME problem: my T40 Thinkpad plays a dvd on its own screen with no problems. When I connect the s video to a TV, and choose TV as the DISPLAY from the settings/advanced etc., I see the computer screen on the TV, but the inside of the Windows MEdia player is blank on the TV (even though it shows the DVD on the computer's screen). I have the same problem with movies downloaded from MovieLink, which play OK on the laptop but not on the TV.
What are we doing wrong?

Well after reading thru this thread, i am still having problems...
Here's what i have:
P4 2.6Ghz, 1G of DDR memory, 5.1audio card, and i just recently bought the Radeon 9800 Pro Graphics card. I have a widescreen TV, and want to connect my DVD player from my Pc to my Tv. I connected the S-video card to my PC and Tv.
I was able to get the video to play by toggleing the clone switch in the display group... but the DVD on my TV is not a very good picture at all... rather hazy, fuzzy... just not a good picture. Also it my new 16:9 Widescreen TV won't fill in the entire picture.. what's up with that?
Any advice would be great. Thanks

hej, i need your help!
I got a laptop with a S-Video plug... and I bought a cable to connect to the TV... it nearly works properly. I can watch the movie, but it is Black & White... (it seems that laptops are NTSC or PAL, but in France we're using SECAM).
Anybody knows how to do?? (except buying a PAL Tv lol)
thanks

I have a question. Is it just possible to connect your pc to your tv just to sit back on your couch and surf, work, do all of the computer things, while actually relaxing? I'm not too worried about watching movies, I just want to be able to do what I normally do on my pc using my tv as a monitor. I have s-video on both pc and tv, as well as all the rca types on the tv. Can I just connect the s-video to s-video? Oh, and both s-video's are female, so I would need adaptors to make both male, correct?
Thanks in advance for any and all help you can give me on this question.

yes you need adaptors.
yes it is possible, but you need a wireless mouse and keyboard. Moreover, it's not just like connecting pc to tv by s-video; you need to do some adjustments too on your pc. Go to this link to learn about it:

hi arero77, are u using a svideo to svideo plug or a svideo to rca plug,,ive had success with my 0ld gateway 200mhz using the later. Also Ive found that there are 2 types of S Video cables ,,,4 and 7 pin. I tried to do the same with my dell 3.2 Ati card with the 4 pin plug but i need the 7 pin for full colour option. Check yr card to see if its 4 or 7 pin,,then use that s video calble to rca connector,,,then just plug sound output to yr tv using similar connector ,,,small sound plug to rca plug hope this helps

I know my problem will get resolved here. My laptop model is COMPAQ Prsario 2200 and my Graphic controller is INTEL 82852/82855 GM/GME. I am using "S" video - RCA plug and to connect my machine to th TV. Problem is when i press fn+F5 some thing{the desktop} comes on the TV screen but the picture is not very clear. I have changed the colour resolution to 800X600 but this also doesnt solves the purpose. I have a gut feeling that if I lower down the resolution to 460X600 it might work but the setting doesnt allows me to do so. On the audio side i can very well connect the laptop to TV and listen the audio. Only problem is video. Please help !!

Hello everyone.
I have a Dell Latitude Cpx Laptop, which I bought from e-bay and is working ok.
I wanted to connect it with the tv, so as to be able to show the DVDs on the tv screen.
It has on the right side a special kind of socket that shows a tv monitor and and an arrow pointing out.
So I bought from e-bay as well a cable which is s-video to scart as the tv has a scart socket.
I did connect them but it shows nothing. I had made sure that the tv is on the AV channel. I don?t know what combination of keys to press, but whatever I try it seems to be with no results.
I tried FN and all the F keys, I tried Crtl FN and all the F keys, Ctrl-Alt and all the F keys, FN Alt etc, etc and still nothing happens. The only thing that seems to have an effect on the monitor, by disrupting it for one or two seconds, are the combinations involving the key F5 that shows as a secondary function two screens.
Despite that, nothing seems to be exported to the tv.
I also tried control panel, display, settings, advanced, monitor, and there three choices can be found:
Generic television (which seems to be the default choice)
Digital flat panel (1024x768)
Default monitor.
When click on properties, there are two sheets:
One that says generic television and then: device type :monitor
Manufacturer: (standard monitor type)
Location : on ATI Technologies Inc, RAGE P/M mobility
Immediately beneath it reads as such:
Device status:
The divice is working properly
If you are having problems with this device, click troubleshooter to start the troubleshooter
The other sheet says:
Driver: generic television
Driver provider Microsoft
Driver date 01/10/1999
Driver version: not available
Driver signer:Microsoft windows 2000 publisher
Then there is a short text:
No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device:
To unistall the driver files for this device click uninstall, to update driver files for this device click update driver.
When I click update driver, there appears a driver wizard and asks me to search for a suitable driver for my device.
From this point onwards I really don?t know what to do, as the choice is between the generic television and a flat panel, but again it defaults on the generic tv.
To be honest with you, I?m not really sure if I do the right thing or if I should have done something else.
Could someone that knows please reply ? I really don?t know what I?m doing wrong.
Feel free to ask any detail that you think is necessary to know.
George
