video out black and white

[buffdaddy110]

I have a Leadtek Geforce 4 Ti 4400 with tv out. When I run my s-video cable to my tv everything is black and white. I'm running windows xp and I have the latest drivers for my video card. I just can't figure out what to do.Anyone have any idea what to do?

Personally, i know of two problems that can cause this :

1) Your TV doesn't support PAL or NTSC video mode, so switch it to the other one

2) Your S-Video cable is of a dodgy quality, get a new one

When you say switch it to the other one what is the other one?

as in, if you're currently outputting in PAL, try NTSC. or if you're on NTSC currently, try PAL..

hope it helps, i haven't used an nVidia product for a while (since my GF2MX) and i'm not sure where the options are anymore :/

Try jiggling the cable maybe? That happened with my S-video-input and the RCA adaptor; something just wasn't quite plugged in right and the color signal wasn't getting through to the videocard.
