HDMI For Older TV

Hello. I'm trying to hook up my computer to my tv with HDMI cords. But I don't see an HDMI hook up on the tv anywhere. I think it's because the tv was made in 2002, and HDMI wasn't as popular back then.

Does anyone know if there's another way to get my computer hooked up to my television? :)

What are all of the video outs on your laptop and what are all of the video ins on your tv?

What do you mean? It has the regular yellow, white, and red inputs on the front for gaming systems, dvd players. And an 'S' Video input plug. It's a pc and it has all the regular headphone, microphone and a few others and a couple USB ports. It's only a 2 year old computer though.

Don't think so. What's a VGA? I'm assuming the S output looks the same as the one on the tv?

I thought you couldn't go HDMI to Component because of the Digital-Analog conversion?

Yeah I have a VGA on the back of my PC. Can't find any HDMI ports though.
