Re: S-video out and I only get black and white screen...

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am having the same problem on a Toshiba Satellite laptop that only began to
occur when starting to use windows XP. It will display on a tv at 640x480 and
only greyscale even though xp reports that is sending 32 bit colour. I know
that this is not a hardware issue because it worked perfectly under windows
me. I have tried using the toshiba XP drivers for the video card but windows
refuses to operate with them because they are not "signed". Win XP has also
removed all of the software that toshiba includes to control video output ie
ntsc/pal and will not reinstall it either because they are also not "signed".
If anyone knows of a workaround for this problem please let me know. Thanks
in advance.
