You have to give people a bit more info, if you expect help.

 

make sure that the s-video jack on your pc is s-video out (not in) and your tv is s-video in ;-) if you are using a tv card here, that is only for tv to pc not pc to tv.

 

I have everything connected and there in sound and video on my TV. only problem is its in Black and White. Any idea how to change this to colour.. Its set on Pal-B, is this correct?

 

try NTSC ;-)

 

I've tried it and nothing.. I live in Sweden so don't think NTSC works... There's load of pal things.. Pal B, C; D; E, F, G tried everything but nothing... Have XP HE, intel extreme Graphics 2, its really bugging me as I'm not the most technical guy plus the windows is in Swedish and I can't speak the language LOL

 

This may sound obvious but check that your TV is a pal color TV. Also check the connections to make sure they are secure and tight. Look at the S-video cable and see if it has all of its pins or if any are bent.

 

Here is an excerpt of the windows help file to change the language to English for menus and dialog boxes in windows.

To change the language used for menus and dialog boxes
Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
On the Languages tab, under Language used in menus and dialogs, click the language you want.

To open Regional and Language Options, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and Language Options.
