right click on desktop.

select settings.

you should see your video adaptor. two screens click on the second screen and it should output the video thru s-video output.

Should my TV channel be on 3 or does it not matter????

 

[freakshow]

it should be on the input you plugged the computer in to

actualy right click on desktop

select properties.

select settings.

you will see the display box.

either default monitor or multiple monitors.

select mulitple monitors.

click on the second screen it should output the video to your tv at this point.

you should see the video on your computer screen and your tv at the same time.

I assume yout tv has multiple inputs.

select the input where you plugged in the s-video cable.

does your video card have digital output ? and your tv have digital input ?

you are much better off using the digital option than s-video cable.

you should see the video on your computer screen and your tv at the same time.

When I do all that I get a screen with a number 1 and number 2
It says below on a drag menu:

radeon 9200 plug monitor
Default Radeon monitor

what kind of monitor do you have ?

select number 2 thats the s-video output.

you might black out the computer video screen as the video is output to the TV.

I did that once until I figured out the option was the multiple monitors output under the drag menu. (At least for my video card).

make sure you have the latest video card drivers for your video card as well.

With ati products you also have to enable multiple monitors on the ...settings? menu....

Please be forwarned that the image on your TV may not live up to your expectations...it is viewable but barely.

As suggested, it would be better to use the DVI cable instead. (if the 9200 has DVI out...)

OK, now I've fucked everything up
The screen says : cannot display this video mode

I had to go into safe mode and my monitor has stopped working

Power switch on?

(Sorry, couldn't resist!)
