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!

To my understanding, SCART is a Euro thing. Both S-Video are 7-pin. Color has worked on other TV's with similar setups with the same card. I knowing, because my computer is a twin. I built the other for my best friend Jake. And Jake had his computer hooked up to my tv for movies quite a few times. However, it was a different machine, and different TV. Sony WEGA flat screen. I'd just try it on there except for both TV's are 27" and heavy as hell and my bedroom is upstairs. Blah.
