What graphics adapter? What are you trying to connect to? If it's an HDTV, I think most of them have a VGA input. That would be much better than s-video, which is limited to 480i.
Probably one of the worst computers I've ever owned. I won't list all the dissapointments I have with this Dell, but I need help on getting the VGA to convert to S-VID, composite or HDMI (preferably SVid since I have a long SVID cable already)
Dell Vostro 1720 running XP Pro
I currently have an VGA to SVIS/RCA converter cable which does not seem to work. I have a different Dell with an SVID output, but when I use the VGA port & cable converter - nothing.
Do I need to change monitor settings in order to get an SVid output through the VGA output?
