331896 2005-03-08 19:27:00 Make sure that you have TV-out set to PAL, and not NTSC.

It sounds like the Windows drivers are changing it to NTSC, which will result in a black and white picture on a PAL only TV.

331897 2005-03-08 21:33:00 also check for any jumbers on the vid card. sometimes the pal/ntsc output is set by jumbers on the card.

slao check you are useing the correct lead.

what is the output of the vid card, s-video?
the input of the tv, s-video or rca?

if you are useing a s-video to rca adapter you may need to correct one. there are 2 slightly different leads.
