I got a Sony Vaio FS-something something something
And i own VGA cables for the 360
And on the side of my Laptop there is a little port.
Now let me explain: The VGA cable fits inside this little port on the side. BUT, there are these screw things on the side of the VGA cable but there is no place to screw them into, u know? Its JUST the port, no wholes for skrews.
Anyway, i plugged it into the Laptop and everything, and its all setup, but now how to get the XBOX360 images to appear? is it even possible?
Cause i have no clue where to go from here.
Any help is MUCH appreciated

I think thats a VGA Out port, which means it only allows signals going out from the laptop to another monitor or something. So you wont be able to send display information from the 360 to it.

You need to buy an external video card, and make sure it has video in.

Video capture card to be exact, I forgot about that. They're kind of expensive, I think they start around $150.
