Usually it's a PAL vs NTSC error... are you in a PAL country? Are you
connecting with some kind of S-Video to SCART connection?

Thank you, your help very much appreciated.

Check if your TV accepts an NTSC signal via SCART. Most TVs manufactured
since the early 1990s should do.

You may need a scart convertor, which properly deals with the s-video
signal, which sends a different set of signals than composite. Do you have
any other output you can use from the laptop? Are you using the cable that
came with the laptop to connect to the scart?
