Since I had no idea what could the problem be, I thought maybe theres some problem with the S-video cable. So I took the cable and went to the local store to test it if it's faulty, thought if theres anything wrong with it, I just buy a new one. But they said that the s-video cable is working with no problems.
Remember when I said that I'm out of ideas? Now I'm out of ideas. This was my last hope.

i can clearly remember what I did in the past to connect the pc and TV set together. The computer's resolution and refresh rate wasn't changed. I remembered this, because while a friend of mine was playing on the computer, I could watch the gameplay on the TV screen.
I just enabled the TV output under the Displays tab and there was picture, now I get nothing, or if I'm lucky I can see the screen in a very poor quality. As I move a window on my computer, the TV screen changes, but it's awful.
My pc is working, the cables are good, the TV is fine too. Have I skipped something?
Maybe a chip or something else on the graphic card has hampered?

Hi,

Not sure if you already found a solution to your problem but the reason why your cable is showing up only black & white image is taht the cable is of a low quality and does not take across the colour component of the image. It is the same with most scart leads & RCA leads. The cable is working properly & won't be faulty but it is not taking across colour component.
I recomend that you visit www.s-video.com & order a RCA cable from there, as they are specially designed for PC to TV transmission & carry acroos colour & audio.

Hope this helps,

Shuja.
