I'm not familiar with RGB out from a computer so can't advise perhaps someone else will know and answer this for you.

There are converters for HDMI to RCA video that others on this forum have used but I have not personally used one.
Jocko7,

Looks like the computer that you are looking at ( Toshiba P755-S5268 ) has what Roy & Dale have expressed. The RGB port looks like a VGA port to me, even though two different sites expressed it differently: http://www.bing.com/shopping/toshiba...68&FORM=CMSMSP
The VGA cord that you originally purchased is not what you need! ( I bought one too! ) I use the VGA converter/adaptor that Roy has recommended, and it ships with all adaptor cables. The HDMI port will be best if you are only connecting to a single flat screen... otherwise I use the converter to splice the singers screen and run to as many tv's/monitors that my venue requires... I use rca video cables for long runs of multiple monitors/tv's, and HDMI for a single flat screen monitor, because of the price of HDMI cables of longer lengths... and because using the HDMI port has the effect of blocking or cancelling the other types of outputs/connections ie. S-Video, RCA, RGB, etc. Good Luck, and keep the faith... Hoster is rock solid... it's just something that you probably overlooked when your set-up changed!
