Hi!
I've been trying to connect my PS2 to my computer and play it on their, i've connected it to the slot and all i need to do is find athe channel on my computer that runs the AV slot. I thought about Media Centre but lol and behold, Media centre doesn't have an AV slot for some reason.

I know it works because i've tried it on my dads computer, his computer has powercinema and it has an AV channel, it works ferfectly. But i cant put Powercinema on my computer (i have reasons, dont tell me to try hook up powercima).

Any Suggestions?
I'll tell you now that its DEFIENTLY NOT A HARDWARE PROBLEM so dont suggest things like antennas or anything like that.
I might try Connecting my PS2 up to Media centre and the browse for more channels, you think that'll work?

Sorry, I've looked through the manual thing that you can buy from Dell, and I didn't see anything that might help you. hmm

I was halfway typing a medium-long post, but I reread your post and got confused.

Look at these two pictures.

At the left is Coaxial inputs and at the right are composite inputs.

EDIT: On the top is coaxial, then followed by composites.

----------------

From what I understand, your dad's laptop has composite inputs and it worked.

Now on the media center, you have no composites but instead you have Coaxial. I understood that way because you were talking about channels and coaxials are usually associated with TV channels.

Am I correct?

Well, media centers are usually for HD videos. And playing HD videos need some power.
