can not connect laptop to hdtv

hi guru,

I have trying to connect following 2 devices:

- compaq laptop with intel extreme graphics mobile video card, which only has VGA output, but does support multiple output device including TV

- a HDTV

I bought a VGA/S-Video cable

When I hooked up the 2 with the cable, in my video card control software, I was able to find the TV and choose it as output. However, the picture shows black/white and in three folds overlaping each other on my HDTV.

I contact the guy who sold me the cable and he suggested me to adjust my video card tv output. However, in intel graphics card software I could not find such.

Can anyone please help me on this?

thanks,

Anstoss

additional information:

it turns out my video card takes the TV as a monitor other than television, because of which there is no option for me to choose a tv format in the video card utility interface. any way I can set the tv format?
