I know that my video card doesn't have an output for my tv and my tv doesn't have an imput for my computer. Is there a way to get them so i can play my computer on my tv screen without getting a new video card?

it depends on how old your tv is - there are adaptors which will connect to a standard computer monitor output port and convert it to either scart or seperate RGB cables
does anyone know the names of these cables or a websight i could buy them on besides ebay.

see if you can find something on

You can use an S-video cord, but you have to install an adapter to your computer first. It is a plug and play adapter that allows you to use you TV screen as a monitor. Runs around $50.

Yes but only if your TV is capable of it...also you need software to complete the process...not just the connection.

you have to have a tv with a pc input already on your tv. look on the back and it should look just like the hard drive slot

Not with your current set-up. My vid card has an "S" video jack and so does my TV. Sorry!:-(=

You can hook up a computer using a VGA cable, although I dont know if it will work in your case :)

If you have a new computer...you might have a S-Video plug....check the back of your CPU.
