nvidia geforce FX 5200LE: only b/w TV-screen on w2k

[Guest]

Hi,

I cannot find the right configuration on win2k to see an coloured screen
on my tv. I'm using PAL-B (germany; I tried all possible other
PAL/NTSC-formats), fullscreen-video, nview-modus "clone" (monitor and
tv-svreen), 1024*768px. On Monitor is all right, but on my TV all is
shown only black/white.
nvidia diplay-driver version 6.14.xx.

What can I do?

Thanks for help,
Martin

Set the TV output mode to Composite from auto-select or S-Video. 'tis
under the TV out advanced settings.

Are you using a composite to SCART convertor? Most cheap convertors
don't tie the brighness and colour signals together which means you'll
only get black and white through it.

http://www.mts-data.no/images/kabel10.jpg is a picture of one such
device. Some of them will give you a colour picture and some won't.

Once again, If yer using such an adaptor, make sure yer TV output mode
is set to composite and not auto or s-video.

BTW, you'll get b/w output with such a block if you connect using an
S-Video cable. In this case setting the output mode to composite even
though yer connected through S-Video --> Scart adapter --> TV will
correctly give you colour.

I just now saw, that the composite output mode and NTSC-J made an
coloured TV-screen, PAL-xx not.

Yes, I'm using an convertor/adaptor like on the picture. Now, I'll try
to show a movie with NTSC-J and composite-mode.

Much thanks for your help.
