Hi, I have a Sony vaio C1S laptop which has a VGA out and an S-video out.

I can use the VGA out fine when i connect a monitor to it (it automatically switches to it). But when i connect a tv to s-video it doesn;t think there's anything there, so when i try to enable the second display it says please connect a monitor (i'm guyessing it's talking about the VGA port instaed of s-video).,

This laptop has a funticon key for the display but it cycles through the vga port only, and not the s-video port.

My desktop pc has a feature where i can tell it to Force tv detection. If i manage to do that i thnk it will all work. anyone have any ideas? it's an Intel integrated graphics.
 
I've tried setting the laptop to the lowest resoltuion but it still doesn't let me enable the second display.

On my desktop it was actually a third display but windows only shows two. could it be a drivers problem? I haven't deleted any, it's using the ones it came from sony with.
