I am using xp home with an S-video connection, i have tried using it on my flat screen tv which also has an S-video connction, without success can any one tell me where iam going wrong.

thanks.

Hello belmarty,

What connection have you been using until now? What graphics card do you currently have?

i have been using the onboard graphics with vga on a monitor. just got a flat screen tv and thought i would try the s-video on the I/O ports @ the back but its not reconising the tv as the second monitor.

Your S-Video port is right next to your VGA right?

So when you right click on your desktop, go to Properties, Settings tab, you will see your extra screen [2] appear here. Click on that second monitor, and below you will see the options to Extend your windows desktop, and then to use it is your primary monitor.
