If you have the TV plugged into the s-video connection, then right click on the desktop and select 'graphics options' and then 'output to' and there should be a TV option. If you select that the display will switch to the s-video and display on the TV.

Make sure you have the S-video device turned ON when trying to select TV.  If the NB doesn't see an S-video device, the choice won't appear.

Make sure the s-Video plug is active go here and look at this s-video laptop adaptor it converts 7 pin male to 4 pin female.This adaptor came with my 9100 and XPS but i also had a 1100 which i gave to my neice which this adaptor worked on all 3 the XPS,9100 and 1100 http://www.showmecables.com/estore/store/showProducts.asp?category_id=139 scroll down till you see part #CLAV026 I know this adaptor works i think the problem is it needs to be converted from 7 pin to 4 pin then the standerd 4 pin s-video cable will work.

Good luck
