Linda,
I don't know if you were able to get your RPTV to work with your computer by now (your post is from June), but if not, here's a suggestion. The problem may lie in the TV. On some older Sony TV's, you have to manually turn the S-video input "on" in the TV's setup menu. The default setting was set for composite video from the factory (the yellow jack below the S-video socket) that shares the "video 1" input. Newer TV's have a switch in the S-video jack that automatically disables the composite video jack when a S-video cable is plugged into it. Some older TV's did not and you will get no picture from S-video unless you go into the setup menu and turn it "on". You should be able to find it under "initial setup" or "preferences" or similar category in the set's menu.
Hope this helps!
