Have you enabled the S-video out in your drivers?

There is sometimes hot function keys that control where the video output is going...on our Dells it's Function F4.

You can also right click on your desktop, go to properties and then advanced and there should be a tab you can select the output to go to.

May be a resolution problem as well. is your res set higher than your tv can support?
