    What model of HP computer do you have?

    Does the video card have tv output? (s-video, composite)

    First off don't plug in the cords in the front panel they are for input (according to the HP website, but I'd follow whatever it says on the case).

    Once you plug in the cords. What you need to do it right click on the desktop. Select properties. Then click settings. You should see two numbered boxes. This indicates you monitor and tv screen. You need to click the second one and extend monitor on to the desktop by putting a check in the box.

    If this doesn't work. Make sure everything is plugged in right. Sometimes you have to restart you computer but you shouldn't have to with your system because it's a newer computer.

    A common problem is for the screen to show up in black and white. All you need to do there is change the signal from PAL to NTSC (if in North America).
