So do you have those yellow,red, white RCA jacks on the back of the tv

@Terminator : does your TV look like this?

the tv doesn't have the required ports right (for vga)? ? also laptop has no hdmi

you can try getting a VGA to RGB cable. Not sure whether it will work out but u can give it a try.

It won't work simply because his tv has no RCA jacks... Only a rf input jack

get an lcd tv then
