Below you will find the step-by-step directions for hooking up your new Hewlett Packard  Laptop to a TV with an S-video connection.

1. Hook up the S-video cable ...

from your TV ...

to the back of your laptop. .

It's OK if the port in your laptop has more holes in it than the S-video cable has pins... it will still fit and work perfectly.

2. Go to the System Tray at the bottom right hand corner of your computer desktop. The icon for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator is the little blue monitor.

3. Click on the Intel Graphic icon and the choose "Graphic Options" and "Graphic Properties."

4.Under the "Devices" Tab, choose "Notebook" for your "Primary Device" and "Television" is your "Secondary Device." Click "Intel(R) Dual Display Clone" and then click "Apply"... "OK...OK...OK...OK" until you are out of all the windows.

 5. Make sure your TV is on "INPUT1" or "INPUT2" or whatever is the channel setting for outside video sources for your TV... this varies from one TV to another TV.
 6. Hold down the Function Key (Fn) and then hit the F4 key (on the top row of your keyboard).... Hit F4 once and the image is on one of the screens (either TV or laptop)... hit F4 again and it is on the other one... hit it a third time and it shows on both...Make sure you are holding down the Fn key the entire time.
