Latitude C610 - Connect to TV

Below is DELL's instruction to adjusting the display settings to enable TV image.:-

In Windows XP:

  1. Click the Start button, and click Control Panel.
  2. Under Pick a category, click Appearance and Themes
  3. Under or pick a Control Panel icon, click Display.
  4. Click the Settings tab, and click Advanced.
  5. Click the Displays tab.
  6. Click the upper-left corner of the TV button to enable the TV
  7. Click OK.

I could not find the Display Tab to switch to TV in Steps 5 & 6.

Is there anyone who can help?

    I am interested in this too. I have XP Pro on a C610 but had to follow the instructions for 98/2000 because in Control Panel I have "Display" rather than "Appearance and Themes". If I go to Settings > Advanced > Monitor, I have a drop-down but there is only one monitor choice. I don't have a "TV button" either.

    I also haven't bought an adaptor cable yet and don't have it hooked up to a TV. It may not be giving me the choice because the hardware doesn't exist, or it's possible that we are both missing a driver.

    Any info is appreciated.

    Many of these video options will not show the TV unless the cable is hooked via composite or Svideo and the TV is on and detected when the machine boots.

    I have tried that but all I get on the TV is only static Window XP screen (without even shortcuts shown on my notebook screen) on one channel and sound on another.
     
    I could not get what's shown on my notebook screen on TV. I tried also the F8 key but giving not much help.

    I have also tried that but all I get is snow on the TV. I also don't ever see a "TV Button" anywhere in Control Panel that I can click on the upper left corner of. A friend who also has a C610 suggested that I might need the original Dell cable.
