Settings and Connections

Three most common problems are you have it set to PAL and it's supposed to be NTSC, or vice-versa, you are connecting SVideo and your TV doesn't support SVHS, or there is a scart connector in the mix. Tell more about country you live in, and how it's connected up, and the solution can probably be found.

Still not clear on your connections.

Are you hooking S-video from the computer into S-video connection on the scart? If so, you will need a S-video to scart adapter. ATI says all 3rd party adapters do not work, and they recommned one from svideo.com.

Here is a link, be warned it will take you to svideo's website.

http://www.svideo.com/svideoscart.html.

You also need to set output to PAL in the ATI properties settings.
