I would think you would need to get a better graphics card.
Also what is the Model of the TV you want to use.?

Get yourself an s-video to s-video cable and it should work.

That is unless you have one of the cheaper 9250's that doesnt have an s-video port. You will have to look at the back of your graphics card to see, it will be a small round socket.


Hope that helps, Rik.

There are also holes at the back, excuse the terminology half asleep, they are red and yellow. These are your sound.

So S-video = Video
Red and yellow = sound.

I think.
