mclaren_2

I have a tv to pc cable, and ive plugged it in to the tv card on the laptop and the tv - but i cant get it to work. i also have a scart adapter with the s viceo port on it, and i have tried this aswell. I wnat to have my laptop shown on the tv instead of using the tft it has.

settings i have on my tv are as follows
DTV
TV
AV1
AV2
SAV2
AV3
AV4
Componant
RGB
HDMI1/DVI
HDMI2
