Well time for another computer problem that chances are no one can help me with.
First, let me start off that I bought the first season of Beast Wars: Transformers today. And oh boy its great. Go Dinobot. Aside from that. I also bought a longer S-video cable, a 12 footer. Connected up the puter and the good ol 27" Apex (cheapie) TV. I finally played hide and seek with my Windows standard settings and got the SOB to run clone mode. Ended up installing my ATI standard drivers. However, (the big but!!!) I only get black and white. No color on the TV. The computer looks great, tv is in black and white. I then gave'r the good ol Google search. I only came to 105,000 responses, all of which are stupid and didn't give me any info. ATI 128MB 9200SE Windows XP Brand spankn' new S-video cable, gold series high tech (good) Apex 27" Cheapie TV standard settings. I get video - no color and I just did a SCAN on the TV to see if that worked - nope ANY CLUE PLEASE HELP ME! -Ti |

try wiggling the s video cable. it could be the cable is so long that it is bending where it plugs into the TV.
try unpluging it and plug it in and holding it. |
