Hollywood Plus card giving me pixelized GREEN picture! WTF?!

[msp1518]

:frown: OK. I'll make a long story short... The problems are with both the 1.6 and 2.2 drivers. The green colors and pixalization (solarization) problem appears to be linked to the color settings, as when I reduce the color slide to almost B&W levels, the problem vanishes, but the picture is now washed out and almost without color. We are talking VCD quality or worse, folks.

Drivers make no difference. The system is updated Win98SE with remote selector (problem exists without remote selector). PCI slot switching doesn't help. I have read the manual cover to cover, twice, and tried everything, but on my display, the picture is not even close to right.

This is not hooked to my TV yet. I think I had better get this problem licked before I tackle the TV thing.

PIII 500mhz system. 12X Asus DVD drive (DMA enabled).

So if lowering the color slide to near zero solves the problem, what does that mean? Are there other adjustments to be made? I tried the manual color thing/crosshatch under the advanced setting and that didn't go very well.

Well, I am off very soon. Can't anybody offer up some ideas?

Sounds like a problem with the image overlay. Try adjusting the alignment of the image on the green square. I had a similar problem with my Dxr2 setup (which uses a similar config but blue) and that fixed it.

OK. I think I know what you mean. Are we talking under advanced? Can you be more specific? This card and it's features are very new to me.

Thanks

Probably under advanced. My dad has a Sigma Designs card but neither of us has used it.
