Hi,

I want to play my old game console on my pc's moniter. I have RCA jacks
plugged in with the S-video adapter, but I can't find any way to switch over
to that input...via the media center software or the control panel. any
suggestions?

You don't want to try to play games via the MCE interface. There is an
inherent 2 to 3 second delay in what you're actually watching, vs what's
being input.
