Here is a word to the wise for everyone. I posted a thread a few weeks ago about extending to a TV. I had an S- Video output on my laptop, but it was not working. I tried everything that everyone told me I needed to do, but nothing worked. I finally gave in and called my laptop company. After spending hours on the phone, I got my solution fixed. Word to the wise:
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE UPDATED DRIVERS FOR YOUR VIDOE CARD.

In my case I needed to re-install and add the control panel for my ATI video card.
