Default Need help with hooking my xbox 360 to my computer so that i can play it on my monitor

Ok so I have been trying to set up my 360 so that I can play it on my computer but I can't seem to figure it out. On the front of the computer there are audio and video (yellow, white, and red) inputs. anyway, I have everything hooked up, but I can't seem to be able to get my computer to play the Xbox 360. I have a HP Pavillion Media Center TV PC, if that helps.

Some help with this would be much, much appreciated. XD

i dont understand what you are trying to do. are you trying to play your 360 through your computer monitor? otherwise you wont be able to "play" your 360 through your computer. as far as connectivity goes, you can stream music, videos and pictures to your 360, but i dont think you can do much else.

If you have an open D-Sub port on your monitor buy the Xbox360 VGA cable for like $40. and you can play it on your monitor.
