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!

Wow your old TV supports S-Video input? Or is your S-Video cable a S-Video to Composite cable adapter?

Your TV is pretty high-tech man tongue.gif

I'm not sure why it's only displaying black and white images. An ATi 9200 should have no problem with the S-Video out. Is it your TV setting?
