problems with tv-out

I have recently bought a new graphics card(geforce4 Ti4200 128MB) which also involves a tv-out. I used an s-video to scart plug to connect my graphics card with the TV. My problem is that the picture I see on the TV is black & white(!). I have tried lots of things to solve this problem but they all have been useless. I have configured the device settings(in the graphics card's properties)(ntsc-m, pal-b/g etc.) but I can't solve it. If you know anything that can help me please answer. !ThanX!

Hey I found this article, not sure it it will help with your problem or not!

Also its been suggested that you need this cable to get color output, it seems to work for other people with geforce cards. http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=&product_uid=43237

also try the following,

Display Properties/Advanced/Gforcexxx/N-VIEW Display Mode/
click on yor Secondary Monitor (TV)/Device Settings/Select Out-put Settings/
-on Video Out-put Format choose COMPOSITE VIDEO-OUT

though it seems, that Composite Video-out option is grayed out for most people!
also make sure all the cables are connected, pushed it correctly etc, also I've read if you connect though a VCR it should work.

Thanks about your essential advices. I have finally made it and the picture is no more black and white. The only thing I've done was installing TV-tool. I then run it and ...color! :D
