problems connecting vga to tv

Hi,

I am trying to connect my laptop to my tv without any joy. I am using my vga port on my laptop with an s-video cable. When then pressing Fn+F5 I expect the monitor to flick over to the tv but nothing happens at all.

I am running XP, have Samsung 50 Plasma and have started to try with 800*600resolution, 60 Hertz at thethe s-video source,

I have also looked using the PC option on my tv but this is always greyed out.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Maria

Re: problems connecting vga to tv

Not all laptops have VGA adapters with the built-in S-Video capability. Also, 600x800 is not a valid S-Video resolution, try 480x640.
