If you have got all of the leads connectec correctly, right click on a blank area of your desktop and click properties. Then click the last tab something like advanced or whatever it is. You should seen the option of 2 screens. Just chose to change your desktop to your tv or extend it. Thats for XP.

If your using Vista right click on ya desktop and click personalise. Then in the tasks bar on the left just click 'connect to external display' Then in the pop up window chose your external display.
