How do I use my TV as a monitor?

Q: I'm plugging my computer into the TV's rgb (vga) input (the normal blue monitor cable), and it almost works. It gets to the xp loading screen but doesn't get any further (it just goes blank.. and my TV says 'no signal'). Anyone know how I can get this working?

A: Your resolution is probably set to high; try resetting to say 800 x 600 to start, then increase to 1024 x 768 and check to see if that works; if not it will reset back to 800 x 600 in 15 seconds and that's where you'll need to leave it when connected to the TV.
