Hey guys,

I have a problem and I've been hoping that you guys can help me out with it.

I've got a desktop computer running Windows XP with an S3 ProSavage 8A25 graphics card. I want to hook up my computer to my TV so that I can watch my movies on it (the TV.)

I have pictures of how I have everything hooked up. I need you guys to tell me what I need to do next, or whether my graphics card is too poor/incompatible.

Composite Audio/Video Plugs Hooked Up to the Back of the Computer

The Cable That Runs From the Computer to These Things to the TV

The TV I want to be able to watch movies on

If you guys can help me, that'd be awesome. Any information would be good.

nice pictures but you dont explain what the problem is....

as long as:
the composite-out on the computer is enabled;
the composite cable is connected to the breakout box;
the correct source selected in the a/v breakout box;
the breakout box is correctly selected as source on the tv;

it should all work... more info as to what the problem is would help us help you

Thank you very much for your help. My problem is that I can't figure out how to enable the composite-out on the computer. Help?

Hi!

I have exactly same problem. Did you solve your problem?

I simply can't get any output from ProSavage composite output.

Don't know why. Even if I use bios to enable TV output, even that won't work.

- Thanks
