    Hey folks,

    This week i got a new 640m with Vista pre-installed, and it's great. Media Centre is really nice, and I'd love to use it with the TV for the full effect, but I can't work out how to enable the tv out.

    I've got it hooked through a 4-pin s-video cable (i know, the Dell has a 7 pin scart socket, but i'm told it should work anyway), and i've tried all sorts of things, but I just can't figure out how to pump the display out through the TV.

    Any ideas?

    good luck trying to get around the DRM. Anyways, you should be able to do it the same way as XP, although in a greatly reduced resolution.
