There have been numerous posts about S-Video cables producing black and white features, but hear me out before saying: change the cable, change the adapter, change the video player, etc. I've read a lot so far about such problems, but there wasn't really a similar problem described like mine so here it is:
Setup:
scart to composite/S-video adapter with audioconnectors@JVC videoplayer
S-video cable 15m
MSI geforce NX6600GT with s-video out
You probably noticed the long cable, but I think only image quality can be affected by that, and not the colour information. If I'm wrong, please tell me, otherwise let's not take the length of the cable into account.
Description: Only getting a black and white image on the tv when cloning or using a dual view with detonator drivers. Tried both MSI drivers included with the geforce and the latest detonator drivers v77.72.
Both gave me a black and white image.
Funny thing: I get full colour when:
1) I used my geforce4 ti4200 with same setup (but I'd like to use my newer graph card ofc)
2) I uninstall my detonator drivers and cloning is automatically on (but obviously this is not an option either, no direct3D, no opengl no nothing)
3) during bootup before it loads the detonator drivers (I even get a Windows logo in colour).
Installing the detonator drivers makes the footage black and white. Also at the same time when I use the S-Video, I use the composite out which DOES give me a full colour even tho the S-video gives me black and white.
The cables provided also have a HDTV connection available, so I'm not sure how this influences the s-video cable, but because it IS capable of producing colour, I didn't think it would matter.
I tried installing previous detonator drivers (I believe somewhere around 60.xx and 53.xx or so), but those didn't recognise my graph card, couldn't even install them.
I believe it to be a driver issue because when I use no detonator drivers, it gives me colour, but when using the detonator drivers, it's black and white.
Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated.

[EDIT]Also, I'm not sure how to change my video signal from PAL to NTSC. I used tv-tool which changed it automatically to NTSC (to no avail), but nvidia display properties only gives me 2 options (PAL-B and PAL-H) and I live in Belgium, so I'm not sure whether or not this could be the problem. I also tried all resolutions and refresh rates (lowest = 60Hz)[/EDIT]
