    Hi, I have an Acer Extensa 4220 which has a S-Video output on the side, so i have bought a S-Video to Composite converter and and composite cable. It all fits correctly and plugs into the side of the TV. I have a Sony Bravia 50" HDTV with a composite input on the side. So i connect everything up and nothing displays on the TV on all AV channels. What should i do to make it work on the TV? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    did you do anything in the Intel graphics utilities to enable video on both notebook and TV? you need to enable two displays.
