    Can anyone help. I use the tv out on my computer to watch video on my main tv. However for some reason this is now outputting a black and white picture. I've tried re installing graphic drivers but no success

    I use windows XP and graphics card is Nvidia Geforce FX 5200

    Any suggestions

    Might just be your cable. They are known to go bad. Is the video black & white on your PC monitor as well? If not it is probably the cable..

    Cheers :)

    Ok, I ran into this just recently. You have to change the settings to NTSC United States. Also, if you are using HD Tv, you have to select HDTV and your model tv. These settings should be in your Nvidia tools under TV settings. Good luck.
