Hello,
Hello,
I bought a VGA RCA cable to connect my laptop to my TV or my projector, but I can't get any image on either one.
Is the cable enough or do I need a conversion box in between?
Thanks in advance and see you soon on CCM.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 18.0

Hi,
First of all, thank you for your reply.
No output from the s/video on my laptop (Nvidia Geforce GT 610 card).
I connected it to my projector using a male VGA to female RCA cable.
No need to maneuver to switch to extended desktop, Win7 does it automatically as soon as the VGA cable is connected. But I'm not receiving any image on the projector. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, you surprise me; I have to do this maneuver every time.

Hello

Screen transfer from PC to video projector or TV

Turn on the TV or the projector; the video connection will be VGA, S-video, composite, component, or HDMI, depending.
A
* On your PC, right-click on the desktop
* Screen resolution
* Click on display desktop only on 1 or 2
* Apply
* The image will then be projected onto the projection screen and the computer screen will turn black
* Click on the projection screen or TV by moving the mouse over "keep changes"
* Ok

Reverse the process to retrieve the image on the PC.
Or turn off the projector; the image will automatically return (after a few seconds) to the PC monitor

For audio, except with HDMI connection, we go through the output of the PC sound card to feed the TV or an amplifier
You need to align the display resolutions to the maximum of the least capable of the two screens

Or explained this way:
1. VGA and DVI ports
2. To open Control Panel, click the Start button, then click Control Panel.
3. In the search box, type projector, then click Connect to a projector.
(To use a keyboard shortcut instead of Control Panel, press the Windows key + P).
4. Select how you want to display the Desktop:
o Computer only (this displays your Desktop only on your computer screen);
o Duplicate (this displays your Desktop on your computer screen and on a projector);
o Extend (this extends your Desktop from your computer screen to a projector);
o Projector only (this displays your Desktop only on a projector)
o For a TV screen, it's the same method.
