Try lowering your display resolution to 640x480, SVideo can't handle high resolutions. If that doesn't work then check your manual, sometimes you need to manually enable the SVideo signal.

U still need to go into display properties in hte laptop and ENABLE the TV OUT socket, probably also need to turn on Extended Desktop and select CLONE to send a copy of screen to the Svid cable output

right click your desktop, then click the 'settings' tab. you will see two 'monitors' labeled each with a 1 and a 2. click your number 2 then set the screen resolution using the dial by making it take on the same dimensions as your tv. when I say 'same dimensions' I mean make it look proportional in its dimentsions to your actual TV screen. then right click the 2 box, select the 'attach' option. make sure the box about extending your desktop on to the other monitor is checked then click 'apply' and set your TVs input to s-video. that should do it.
