Need some help with s video from ATI card to TV.

[harveybirdman]

Just connected a tv via s video with a PCI ATI Radon 7500

The picture is black and white and continually scrolling.  Any idea's how to fix?

what kind of tv is it? are the drivers up to date? maybe try to find a earlier driver.

Some more things. The video card is working because it will transmit a VGA signal (I plugged in another monitor to the VGA output)

I have tried S Video on two TV's with various resolutions, all are black and white, and all are scrolling.

I have a crappy S video cord, but I want to rule out other possibilities before I shell out 20 bucks to Radio Shack for a better cable.

I does sound like it may be the cable. I don't remember having to change any settings when I plugged my s video cable in. Amazon has some cheap cables you can try.

I think ATI has some settings in the control panel that may help.  It could be PAL vs NTSC and there may be a setting to fix the vertical scroll, but i can't get the software to work keeps telling me that the driver isn't installed or isn't functioning properly.  So I may have a driver issue after all, perhaps the included software was a mismatch or corrupted.  total headache to this point.

AMD's website says I need Catalyst 6.11 so I downloaded from them but when I try to install it I'm getting "INF Video driver not found error"  I'm about to pull my hair out on this one.
