Im trying to display the computer screen onto my TV, is it just a case of buying 1 wire? I have tred before on my old graphics card and couldnt get it to work (maybe its the TV?) but i just bought a 7600GT so thought id try again.

Can anyone tell me where i can buy the wire (scart to s-video?) and what do i have to do bios/software wise to enable it?

Thanks.

you should get an adapter in your graphics card box?

You wont get a svideo to scart adapter with your gfx card, but if you bought a branded retail (boxed) card, rather than cheap/oem you would of probably got a svideo to composite cable? atleast i think its composite - looks like an audio jack but is yellow or white.

Not actually tried hooking up a pc to a tv but it is on the cards...

composite was what i meant, coz you can get composite to scart adapters.
its a bit of a tricky one, look for an adapter on ebay

What type do i need? i noticed some adaptors have s-video like this one: http://www.vandenhul.com/other/scart_s-vhsL.jpg and some just have red/blue/green

do i need certain colours, do i need s-video?
