ok so it is not a macintosh problem, but still a problem. Hope moderators wold not mind that i ask this kind of question.

Now the for the problem. A relative of mine camed to my place today with an grapick card problem. The problem was that when he tryed to watch movies or just plugged tv out cable in then he had only a black and white picture in tv screen.
OK i first thought to mysel, hah that must be simple. Probably some kind of ntsc or pal problem, or meby a bad cable or stm. But for my surprise it was not in it.. I replaced the cable and tryed the ntsc\pal configuration and NOTHING I even tryed updateing the drivers.. Deem I am in big trouble in here. I just do not know what to do now. I have tryed allmost everything but still have had no resultations...'


Can someone give me some advise on this problem? I have searched google and found that it is a problem for lot of people...

I have a radeon 9700 ati gaphick card128 mb.

If i pull this off then ey,just meby he will let me to install osx on his laptop
Sorry for the bad english, he does not have a speller on this computer and i am not used to typeing on laptop.


Any help will be apreshiated...

Sorry for bad english again....

1 thing i remembered more. I had a xp home version on it...

which drivers are you using? I saw that there were special drivers with tv out. You might try tinkering with some settings from the ATI control panel.

i used the Installation Verification Software. But that seems not to be the problem. As i read the release notes then there was said that the radeon 9700 might have problems with the catalyst software. It was not recommended to install it. And if you already did then 1 you might have a black and white screen in tv and 2 you would have to reinstall the driver again..
I hate ati
Buy a nVida or better Buy a mac
