Any tips on how to face laptop to TV/TV to laptop problems?

For instance, let's take this situation:

Let's say I have a Samsung TV and I want to connect it to a my laptop that's running on Windows Vista. I already have a VGA cable. The problem is, it doesn't work! When I do connect the same way to a desktop, though, it works just fine.

Is there a specific area that I should check? How come connections between other laptops and my TV work well but when it comes to my Samsung TV and my laptop, it doesn't carry out?
