If I remember correctly, those cables are hard to come by or don't exist at all(and even if they exist, I think they were pretty expensive).\n\nTry looking here:\n\n http://www.monoprice.com\n\nMight be easier to either use your s-video (assuming you have one) or finding a HDTV that supports VGA inputs.\n\nI guess you could also try using a little box to do it for ya.  Something like this:\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GXP-2000-PB&cpc=SCH

Why don't you just go out to the box and hook it up. Only takes a flat head screwdriver. If the cable man comes over, just unhook it from your tv, saying "I don't know what you're talking about."

Usually the CRT/LCD option on a laptop isn't regulated by windows though. hmm.. I'm pretty sure if your laptop has an S-Video out, it also has an SVGA out which you can just plug a normal monitor to it and use the CRT/LCD function on your laptop without problems.

I'm not at all positive on this one but I know most of the time you can download drivers directly from your manufacturers site for instance you should be able to go to www.toshiba.com.   I'm not sure of the drivers you are looking for but give it a shot. about a month ago i needed a sound driver for my gateway 4000 series notebook went on gateway.com and they had hundreds of them. you should have a link somewhere on your toolbar or desktop for a Toshiba site that will direct you to this.

just go to the nearest computer store or Radio Shack and ask for crossover cable to connect to computers together, Thay'll know what you talkin about. You don't need to spend alot for a brand-name like Belkin. Also, it's are pretty easy to make it yourself.

If your laptop has a yellow video port, with an RCA jack connection, just use a common video cable to hook the laptop's yellow plug with the yellow plug on the TV.  \nIf your laptop has only the external monitor port, you probably won't be able to connect the two without an adapter.

Assuming your laptop doesn't have a VGA port on the back of it, there are PCMCIA video cards you can try one is the VTBook, http://sewelldirect.com/vtbookpcmciacard.asp?source=froogle but I would be surprised if your laptop did not have a VGA port on it somewhere.

this can be answered by trying a couple other things....can you plug something else in there and that item will work? can you plug your tv into another outlet and it will work? try these and feel free to email me the answers totallywirednyc@yahoo.com

If it has bluetooth built it you should see the bluetooth logo lit up somewhere on the outside of your laptop.\n\nIf you don't have bluetooth you can get a USB bluetooth dongle for not too much $.  I would look at tigerdirect.com

Well 1st you have got to check if all the cables are working and are of the rihth tipe.\n2nd set your tv to AV chanel mode\n3rd activete the ports from your laptops video card software!\nit should work if not try a NEWER DRIVER AND BE SURE TO CHECK ALL THE SETINGS. p.s.: some movies wil not show on the tv unles the tv is the only video output destination(in this case it will show your desktop &curent player but the video feed wil be black)(solution switching off your laptops screen from the same software you switch tv output on)!

It's a simple hard drive power cable.  You can find one at any electronics store, you can order one from Newegg, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?image=12-104-652-01.JPG&CurImage=12-104-652-01.JPG&Description=COOLMAX%20SATA%20POWER%20ADAPTER%20Cable%20-%20OEM but if the hard drive power cables in your PC are long enough you may not need it.  Provided you only have one hard drive in your PC.\n\nThe poster below is incorrect, the X800 Pro requires a power connection to the hard drive power cables.  In fact I know of no X800 Pro that does not require this connection.  He is talking about the X800GTO not the X800 Pro, these are two entirely different cards.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102496

You can use what Kyle said or if you have a DV camcorder you can connect through an  IEEE1394 firewire port. If your laptop does not have one you can buy the card at any computer store.

You need to have a tv tuner card in your computer.  You can buy them at places like Best Buy, CompUSA, etc. It doesn't come standard on computers, unless you have a media center edition that comes with it.

Pick up a TV tuner card.  They're not too expensive.  Search http://newegg.com or another computer hardware store.  There are also USB TV tuners.  Look around online, you'll find something.

Does your laptop have USB ports?  Does it have a decent graphics card?  That's probably all you need.  Search for "usb tv tuner" and you'll come across several.  I have the WinTV-USB external tv tuner made by Hauppauge, and it works great.  I can watch tv, record shows, schedule recordings, and it even scans  for active channels (works with basic and digital cable, as well as regular tv).  \n\nI have an HP Pavilion dv5000 laptop, but didn't get the one built-in, because it was expensive.  I bought the tuner at Circuit City back in May for about $50 after a $30 rebate.  It was great for when we moved, because we could still watch tv on the laptop while we waited on our television to arrive!  \n\nYou can even get tuners that come with remotes, though I didn't opt for that when I bought mine; I just change the channels on the computer.  \n\nOther options include pcmcia tv tuners (plugs into the pc card slot on the laptop if it has one, search for "pcmcia tv tuner" online) and express card tv tuners (plugs into the express card slot on newer laptops that have that type of slot).  You might also try searching for "laptop tv tuner" or "external tv tuner" and see what you come up with that way. \n\nGood luck!
