Hi everyone!
I'm a very basic computer user. I am so happy a forum like this exists.
I have just bought an ASUS W6F (australia) and loaded it up with windows vista.
I am currently staying in a flat in the UK which has a Panasonic Pro-Logic crappy old TV. I am bored, alone, cold and wishing I was back in Bronte soaking up the sun PLEASE HELP ME FIND SANITY IN TV
There are 2 SCART connections in the back of the TV (AV1, AV2)
In the front of the TV there is a S-video inlet (4 pin holes) and red,white and yellow inlets (AV3)
My computer has an S-video output (7-pin holes), and single jack for audio/headset
The connecting cables I have are:
JVC Video S-Video to S-Video CAble 2m (VC-J151) - 4 pins
JVC Video Switchable Scart To 3 Phono and S-Video Adapter (VZ-J129)
JVC Audio 3.5mm Plug to 2 Phono Cable (CN - J201)
A 3.5mm audio plug with a 3 phono cable that came with the computer
I have connected the S-video cable direct to the s-video ports (is that the right word?) on both the TV and Laptop (AV3)
I have also tried connecting the S-video from the laptop to the Switchable Scart to the TV (AV1)
I have said I have VISTA
I have gone to display settings, Advanced settings...
Then I get to Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile
I click on Graphics properties
I skip through Display Devices to Display Settings
I skip over Notebook to the Television Tab
I select through the video standard ANY of the MANY NTSC and PAL options
Then click Apply.
The screen flicks and a mini screen comes up saying I have reconfigured setting and do I want to keep them.
BUT - I still have black and white.
I have done the above protocol after reading many things on the web about this problem. I feel I am close but obviously not successful yet.
I have seen words like composite and others that REALLY confuse me. Simple girl, I am.
Which PAL/NTSC video standard should I choose in the list? PAL_B? There are about 10 choices
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can see in colour?
I would love to watch buffy and heroes!
Thank you SO SO SO SO SO MUCH
AND G-D Bless you if you can relieve my boredom!
