    Hey guys,

    I have a problem and I've been hoping that you guys can help me out with it.

    I've got a desktop computer running Windows XP with an S3 ProSavage 8A25 graphics card. I want to hook up my computer to my TV so that I can watch my movies on it (the TV.)

    I have pictures of how I have everything hooked up. I need you guys to tell me what I need to do next, or whether my graphics card is too poor/incompatible.

    The Cable That Runs From the Computer to These Things to the TV

    The TV I want to be able to watch movies on

    nice pictures but you dont explain what the problem is....

    as long as:
    the composite-out on the computer is enabled;
    the composite cable is connected to the breakout box;
    the correct source selected in the a/v breakout box;
    the breakout box is correctly selected as source on the tv;

    it should all work... more info as to what the problem is would help us help you

    Thank you very much for your help. My problem is that I can't figure out how to enable the composite-out on the computer. Help?

    Hi!

    I have exactly same problem. Did you solve your problem?

    I simply can't get any output from ProSavage composite output.

    Don't know why. Even if I use bios to enable TV output, even that won't work.

    - Thanks
