S-video to RCA is a standard adapter,however ATI adapter like you mention.
only has S-video to one yellow RCA jack,no other plugs,which means using
youre audio-out jacks at the same time.Go to radio-shack or similiar (even
large grocery stores have them),get 1/8 inch-Y connector,this lets you plug
in 2 RCA (audio) from pc to use other wire,then back again...Also,for 2
monitor
software,download the Windows Media Professional Exhibitor,its specifically
for
2 or more monitors running of an
OS...http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx

Hi, I am trying to use my TV to view AVI files on my laptop and I can't get
it to work. I am using a s-video cable that converts to 3 red, green, and
blue plugs.. and am using a standard RCA cable to connect from that to my
TV.. my TV does have the red, green and blue plugs in the back. However when
I hook it up I get nothing, and I have set in control panel to use the 2nd
monitor. The video card in my laptop is a ATI radeon xpress 200 series. Do I
need to get a program like ATI Catalyst? is this even possible?
BTW, the adapter cable I am using came with a nvidia video card that I got
for my desktop, but I am trying to use it with my laptop so I can view video
on my TV. Help appreciated
