PC output to TV

[ronianna]

I'm trying to connect my laptop to my tv. I have a Dell with a tv output which I am connecting via an adaptor and a yellow RCA type connector to my tv. I can see my desktop on my tv and can even view movies but there is no colour showing on the tv picture - it's all black and white. Can you help? I've played with the settings on the display adaptor as much as i dare with no effect.Thanks in advance.

It sounds like the TV-out settings may be set to NTSC instead of PAL-I.

Thanks Kempie but still no colour.

I have tried all the Pal settings including Pal-I and all I still get is B&W.

Any other ideas?

Perhaps a chromatic (or chroma) setting? Or not if you have played about with evrything on offer.

Which model is the adaptor?

[kempie]

Are you using an SVideo cable out of the card into the adapter which then has the Composite (RCA) into the TV?

is it a pal film you're trying to see? i.e. not an american issue.
