Just to make the adapter...unless you can draw S-Video from VGA..then it goes like this: VGA-->S-Video-->Composite

What do you know, i found a S-Video port on my Laptop. But when i connect it to my computer it automatically sets it as a extended monitor. IS thier any way to display my actual desktop, the way it would be on my Lappy Screen?

Go to the display option in the control panel. Under the settings tab, there should be a drop down menu to let you select between two monitors. Select the second one, and below that somewhere there should be a check box option to extend the desktop on the selected monitor.
