I bought a new computer for my kids yesterday. I didn't bought a monitor because they already have a big screen TV in their room and I want to use it as a monitor. A friend told me that I just have to buy a special cable, which is connecting my computer and TV over the VGA's TV-out. However, I have a TV-out problem. I don't have any picture on the TV screen so I don't know what is going on. What am I doing wrong?

The most common problem that can cause a problem like yours is that you get a wrong type of cable. Carefully check does all the pins on your cable suits the wholes on your TV-out. If that is OK, try to check your cable on some other PC and TV and find will he work there. If that won't help then try to find on your TV is it have some more connection ports. Most of the TV's have SCART and AV ports so try to change your cable for the cable for other standard and then see what will happen. Maybe you will need to borrow a monitor just for setting up your machine to work with TV. In the properties of your video card you will need to check
