DXR3 mpeg card`s TV output.

Hello everybody,

I had bought a Hitachi GD7500 DVD player and just like that,after a few time, I found my system having a Creative DXR3 mpeg card that a friend of mine gave me for free.
At first I thought to myself that I must have been the luckiest guy around but after trying to use the TV output of the card to watch DVD movies on the TV I changed my mind.
Even thought the image hasn`t any kind of trouble like cracks or anything similar to it,the most important feature is missing:the colour...
I tried several times to download the latest driver for the DXR3 without a positive result,I even changed the TV set but no colour.
My system has a Celeron 600,a Creative Riva TNT display card,a WD 13,2 GB HDD and 128MB of RAM.
I must also notice that I used the S-video output of the DXR3 card.
Can anybody help me?

Thank you in advance.

If you used the S-Video output of the card and your TV isn`t s-video compatible, the resulting picture will be black and white on the tv.

try using the video input on your tv instead.
