How can I connect my computer to a TV?

Hey, I need to know how to connect my computer to my TV in the living room so everybody doesn't have to be in my room while we're doing something on it. The Video card that I have it the GS 7600, it has the S-Vid port, but I can't figure out how to connect it to my TV. I can plug it in, but it doesn't work, I remember I had to connected to my TV at my mom's house before, but it was in black and white and no sound, so I was doing something wrong, can someone help me connect this to the TV? Thanks in advance.

ur using an s-video cord right? and its plugged from ur pc to the back of the tv or wherever, and the tv is et on the correct input/video? like video 1, video 2, video 3?

how do you expect sound to come from ur graphics card?

turn your computer off, run the S-video cable to the TV to your computer, make sure you have decently new drivers, turn your computer on, go to the nVidia control panel, under the nView display Settings, go to nView Display mode, select what you want

for audio, just get a cable that has two male RCA ends for stereo sound and one end that can plug into your audio out on your computer

Oh god.... I dunno, I'm an idiot sometimes, I didn't really put that together, so I could probobly find some way to rig the sound, I might just have to use my computer speakers though.

EDIT: Man, I can't figure this out, can anyone help me better? I'm being retarded or something,
I connect the S-Vid end of the wire to the computer, than there's an adapter at the end of that, I tried plugging wire going into the TV into all 3 of the slots, but it just won't work, any suggestions at all would be helpfull...
