    Hey,

    I tried hooking up my computer to my fat Sony CRT using an S-video cable yesterday. It seemed to work fine except for the fact that it was black and white. When it tried get past the windows screen white lines flickered all over and never stopped. Any other people have the same issues?

    Drop your PC resolution.

    Best you can get with S-video is 640 x 480 but maybe only 320 x 240.

    When I connect the S-Video up to the PC it's black and white but when I connect through a scart converter it's full colour. I didn't realise it was lowering my resolution
