What video card do you have in the DA and what outputs does it have? If it has DVI, then you need a DVI to composite adapter, though heed the note linked in the thread above.

My TV has PERITEL plug, i'll try to find a plug and play vga/peritel adapter ( not so easy...)

Thanks

Lots of information on these pages:

Alternatively you could fine a used PCI video card that already has video out.

I'm sure it's nothing to do with the hairstyle that men wore when I was a teenager, but what does DA stand for?

And the first response is certain to leave me sitting here with a very red face

But it meant I was wrong about the red face

And you should have a strange feeling! Just because she has one doesn't mean that's the right answer! I have an iMac, that stands for Interesting Machine, a Computer. And I can prove that's correct because I have one!

And, as further "proof" I suggest this book mentioned <at this link>.

Never mix circular 'logic' and a woman!
