PC to TV!

If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Yes, that is exactly what it looks like. Got really bored of trying to find pics, thanks. Its a CRT TV, everyone is upgrading to plasma jobbies, so this 32" of loveliness cost me £50. Bargain I reckon.

Anyway, since we now know what the cable hole looks like, anyone got any suggestions further to Berks? It was just going to be for films/downloaded AVIs etc, but I may give gaming a go on it if I can set up my mouse and keyboard satisfactorily. Failing that then the games I play with PS pads would be fine too.

I have a spare cable somewhere i can send you if you want, I used to use it for watching movies, goes from the funky dodgy bit in the back of gfx card, into an adapter, and then a yellow pin from that to the tv.

I think Berk has summed it up well, you just need a composite (Phono) lead from the TV-out on the graphics card, to the yellow composite input on the front of your TV.
For sound you'll also want a 3.5mm jack adapter to dual phono wire. (They exist, I use one for connecting my PC to my stereo), The dual phono inputs will connect to your red and white inputs next to the yellow one.
To access these on your TV, you'll probably want to view the "S-video" input.
