Replying to Computer and A/V Expertise Requested

My roomate recently purchased a television for our humble abode, but it is positioned in a way that i cannot see it while sitting at my desk. However, I have hooked it up to my computer with an S-Video cable. BUT, two things are not working as I would like them to: First off, for some reason when I play videos on my computer and have the TV in S-Video mode, everything on my computer shows up on the screen except the video, instead there is just a blank screen. I'm not sure exactly what to do, it does everything fine except for that. Also, because I cannot see the TV from my desk I want to be able to watch it on my computer via the S-Video cable/port, but I don't know how to enable this specific mode. Thanks for your help and a premptory fuck you baby asshole tasting bitch for those who do anything otherwise.
