    I'm not sure what the problem is, but before, when I hooked up my laptop to the TV using the S-video cable, it would load on my TV and now it doesn't. I did recently reinstall Vista, so... if anyone knows how I can fix this, that'd be great.

    What about pressing Fn + F8 (or whatever the function key used to switch displays) ? That is how I switch to TV out via S-Video on my XPS M1210 running Vista ultimate (Go 7400 + Laptopvideo2go Forceware drivers).
