Make sure your s-video to rca adapter is working (sounds like it is).
Double check your hook up's (been there done that :) )


Check in the Video card properties (I can only speak for Nvidia) they have an option to 'force' TV output. There might be one in the your BIOS also...

If you don't have 640x480 in the options (some newer video card drivers default to 800x600), click the advanced options tab and then the Show All Resolutions box.

800x600 would not display properly on my Toshiba TV.

That's what I'm guessing it is. I've run into similar things and most of the time it's because it's turned off in the video settings. Look around in the advanced video preferences and you should find someplace that you can adjust the TV settings, including turning it on and forcing it to clone the main display, instead of using it as an extended desktop.

I thought it was obvious that his problem was his desktop res was off.
