    Assuming your Graphics card has S-Video out, and your TV has S-Video in, that's all you should need. Remember to set the appropriate region in your graphics control panel (PAL/NTSC/SECAM)

    go to your device manager, and look under display adapters. Which one you have decides how you get to your graphics settings.

    right click ur desktop then click properties, go to settings tab click advanced, then click adapter tab and then click properties....just another way to get into your display adapter properties
    .

    edit: when you get into advanced you should see a tab for your adapter...like for me i have a tab that says geforce 6100 and there are some settings there.

    you may need to go 'show hidden devices' to see it.

    No, it shouldn't. There should be an option in its software to select the TV or the monitor.

    How old's your PC? I'd go with 98 over Me every time. When i upgraded to Me I hated it so much I went back to 98 again, nothing worked!

    I can't name a single person who's found Windows Me as anything other than completely useless, so your reliance on it is baffling. why do you think XP came out so shortly after?
