PC to TV connection - HELP!!

[Guest]

I am trying to run my DVD player through my TV but I am having problems. First off here is my system specs:-
AMD Duron 750Mhz
Gigabyte 71XE4 M/Board
256Mb PC 100
Gainward Geoforce 2 400mx Golden Sample S-Video TV-Out
Fujutsu 20Gb MPG3204AT E HDD
LG DVD ROM DRD8120B
CyberDrv CW018D CD-R/RW
Rockwell HCF 56K Modem
Creative Ensoniq Audio PCI
Packard Bell 17" A726 Monitor
Win 98

Here is the story so far.

I have connected the PC to my TV as follows:-

My graphics card has an S video connector with an adapter cable for a standard video plug. I have connected the plug and audio from my sound card (using an adapter from a 3.5mm jack plug to twin audio cables) to the TV using the SCART plug.

I then set up the graphics card for twin view with one as the monitor and the other as a TV using PAL-I (for the UK).

I then followed the instructions for tuning the TV but I can't seem to get any signal. The SCART lead has an In/Out selector switch on it and the only thing I can get it to do is for the TV sound to play through my PC when I set it to the In position. Obviously I want it to go in the other direction!!!!!

Does anybody have any idea where I am going wrong or have any suggestions for sites I could try etc?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

p.s DVD playback to my monitor is okay.

What is SCART? I see you have S-Video out but you aren't using it? You are using an adapter? Sorry, it's kind of hard to follow.

I am kind of old school. I always start simple and work up from there. Is there a way you can check just the S-Video out of your card? If you follow me.... Just get one thing working at a time, that way you can find your issue.

Is it just DVD that doesn't play though the TV? Or, you can't get anything to the TV?

Have you tried thumbing through the channels. Sometimes TVs just use separate channels for a different video-in source.. some of the newer ones actually have a buttons to select the different sources. And I will say this. Any time you take s-video and run it through composite by way of an adapter.. it tends to suck at it's best. And only larger (above 20") higher end TVs usually come with s-video jacks. With that combined with having to have a pc in the vecinity of the TV otherwise cables galore, I say screw it and got me a stand alone box. Looks GREAT!!!!!!!! Why use $1000 machine for what a $100-150 dollar machine will do nicely.

Further to previous post.

A SCART socket is a large rectangular socket with 20 pins. SCART may just be the British name, the US name may be different.

Until today I was not getting any signal but now I have green screen (same as windows background) which changes colour as I change the windows background colour.

I also get sound perfectly on the TV.
