hey all,

i'm trying to get a screen of my laptop (hp tx1000) on my tv (sanyo dp26647) through a 4-pin s-video cable, and i'm not quite sure what to do after i connect the two with the cable. is there some sort of program i need to install on my laptop or am i just really stupid and not doing something obvious?

thanks a lot
 
I think all you need to do is right click your desktop and select "properties" and you will see two monitors in the grey box, click "2" and "extend my desktop to this monitor"

That should do it!
 
You can do that, or many times there's an option under the "advanced video properties". It all really depends if you want to extend the desktop(have a wide screen) or clone the desktop. Or if you way a video to display there, there's somethings options to play the video overlay on a specific display. For a while, ATI called it theater mode. Nvidia has a "play it on my" option under the right click menu.
 
yeah thats a problem because every time i cant find what input it's on - i have the channels, something called D 03-1, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, HDMI 1, HDMI 2 - in the manuel it says that the s-video will override Video 1, but the tv is still saying no signal when ive gone through my computer saying extend my desktop over when it prompted me
