Angry view photos from labtop to tv monitor
I bought a 7 pin cable and hooked this to my Toshiba laptop and put the other end in my flat screen tv, hoping to view my pictures from picassa on my lg screen. Did not work, What am I doing wrong?

You probably didn't enable external monitor support on your laptop.

Right-click your desktop (in any empty space...don't click on any icons), and choose "Properties" or "Personalize". Go to Display Settings, and click on the large black box with the number 2 in it. Check the box that says "Extend Windows onto this monitor", and as long as your TV is set to the correct input, your desktop should come up on your TV.
