[uncfan704]

i have an acer aspire one, and i just bought a cord off ebay that is VGA on one side and 3RCA red, white, yellow and a S-video port on the other end, i can not get the picture on my tv, what might the problem be? Any assistance?

For that cable to work your gpu must support tv-out thru vga (and not many do)

Is there any way to detect fmy PC is compatible? Or do I need some type of converter instead?

What kind of TV are you connecting to? Many newer HDTVs actually have a VGA port on them as well as HDMI ports.

I'm connecting to tube TVs through a stereo surround sound receiver. Only RCA jacks on the components I'm trying to connect to.
