I think a little more info is needed here.
What do you mean by "solid picture"? Are you getting nothing at all, only sometimes, partial picture?
Have you verified that the DVI on your video card works? Hooked it up to a monitor with DVI input? Does the TV have DVI and/or HDMI input? Does the card have settings to tell it to use the DVI port? Also, very likely, you need to change the input on the TV to disply signal from component input. Does the TV work with other component video source? DVD player?
Jeff AMN:
Some DVI to Component adapters are only compatible with certain cards. Mine only works with a handful of ATi cards. You might want to double check compatibility.
DcMaN:
it just gets all scrambled and then turns to a solid blue line when i put it on the component input. Im 100% positive the inputs work on the tv, same goes for the dvi ports, i had a monitor hookd up to it previously i tried both dvi ports too. The tv does not have hdmi. Its actually a 6 foot cable, not the adapter.
