Connecting laptop to TV but no picture

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I have been trying to connect my Toshiba laptop (running on windows XP pro) to a Grundig television using an S-video output connected to a Scart adapter which is finally inserted into the TV. Then after rebooting the laptop i press the fn key+F5 to display the monitor on the TV but nothing happens. I have tried all the Function keys but to no avail. Through the same scart adapter i can however play the audio sounds from my laptop to TV.
Can somebody explain what i should do to use the TV as a monitor in my system (laptop + windows XP professional).
Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
best wishes from denmark
