Lost color in karaoke monitor..

[nhmaverick]

Probably not a hoster issue but maybe someone can help..

After installing and hooking up my hoster program I was practicing with it the other day.. For some reason I lost color on my 2nd monitor disply (Television). It was working fine and then all the sudden I was only getting a black/white display for the karaoke songs.. I checked the tv and that is fine.. Thanks for any help/ideas..

you need to tell us more about what your running for hardware.

do you have a radio shack converter ?

I am running windows XP.. ATI Radeon 9000 Graphics card..

I have the s-video out plugged into a vga convertor (just a small tube plugged into the s-video out port of my laptop). that runs to the video in of my television. like I said is was working and then all of the sudden not..

I'm not an expert but I would guess it to be a problem with:

A) a bad Svideo cable. A broken pin or solder joint. Try switching it with a known good cable.

B) TV itself. You indicated the TV was OK but did you check by plugging something else into it or just switch back to TV programming.

C) Graphics card? If you've got color on your monitor I would guess it's not that unless the svideo jack on the card is faulty.

There was a thread on here several months ago about getting color on a TV but I think they had no color from day one. It might be worth doing a search for though.

My money is on the cable.
Just uneducated guesses here but I hope it helps.

make sure the converter is on before you start the computer

While I was still importing my discs, and was having severe importing problems; I was using both my computer and a karaoke disc player. Hence, i was using an RF adapter. Now, that I am using just the computer/Hoster; at one of my gigs, the TV is not showing in color. It is in color at all my other gigs, and I have tried to dup0licate the problem at home. I have tested all of my cords and outlets. The only thing diffferent is I am not using my RF adapter at this one gig, because it is a big screen tv, with RCA inputs; same as at home. Even the owner tried to make adjustments, to no avail. I am trying to avoid the hassle of moving the tv (from a difficult spot) to switch to the rf adapter again. Any RCA tv genuises out there?
