first i know NOTHING about computers in general, most of what i know is getting lucky in digging through stuff until i figure out how to make it do what i want.

i am currently trying to watch a movie through the S video but dont know how to get the laptop to send it through it so i can view it on the TV. please give me really easy dumbed down step by step directions of what i need to do to get it to display. its a Dell Inspiron 8200 if that matters...sorry i cant give more info, i dont know anything about this it was a gift from a friend.

if you plug it in. Then go to system->preferences->display, is there another screen shown that you can "turn on".

Best of luck
