Please specify which TV and desktop you're using. This might be a stupid question, but have you connected the yellow plugs of your S-Video cable?

What sort of graphics are you using? intel integrated? Nvidia? AMD? they will all have different ways of setting up a second screen.

With some graphics cards you have to connect the TV before turning on the PC.

Any updates OP? Also agree with both. You may even have to activate something on your desktop to use a secondary display.
