My video card is a GeForce 7300 GT. I bought an S-video cable from Best Buy only to bring it home and see that the plug doesn't fit anything on the back of my computer. What do I need to connect my PC to my TV so I can watch stuff from my computer on my TV screen?
Here are some pictures of the back of my computer if that will help you:

to connect it to the tv you see the black thingi on ur graphic card?? you need a S-Video wire that goes in there and goes into the tv .. look to see if your tv has the (blue, white , black ) color thingies where you can plug in.. :D

I bought an S-video cable but it didn't fit in that black port on my computer. That black port next to the blue monitor plug has six holes. The s-video cord I have here only has four holes. Do they make different S-video cables? Or can something connect with that square white port?

OK, I tried it again and this thing does fit, even though it looks different. But now I don't have it on any of my TVs. It's always something...
