You need to examine the input connections on your TV. They will determine how you connect your PC to your TV. You should have a composite (yellow) and an S video (mini DIN) at least plus SCART. The easiest way is to connect your graphics card to the composite or S video input on the TV with the lead supplied with your graphics card.
Sound will need to be connected from your sound outputs to the TV inputs.

Then you need to go to your graphics cards advanced properties and set your TV output up.

Wasn't trying to be patronising or anything, but alot of this stuff is done by browsing the web and then having a go yourself. If you manage to sort it out youself, its good for the ol' self-confidence However, do come back if you really are stuck having tried a few solutions.
