My video card came with an s-video cable that allows connecting the pc to a DVD using the S-video cable, when I tried to connect my pc to my tv, the picture appeared black and white, I tried changing the display format from pal to ntsc and vice versa from the display options and it doesn't work, it's still black and white, and anyway my tv is multiformat, and when I tried to connect them using the composite av cable it worked and the picture became in colour, but it's still black and white when using the s-video cable, does anyone know how to solve this problem?

It'll be the same one that came with the TV. Just go to the maunfactures website, as they nearly always have the manuals to download.

I'm not sure with a Toshiba. Do you have the manueal handy? If so, go to the index and look for S-video. If you can't work it out I'll see if I can download the manual as a pfd and have a look.

Can you explain more please, you are saying that I should get the AV channel again, but I don't know how to put an "S" beside it (it's not a sony TV, it's Toshiba"

You have your TV reading the S-video as if it was a compsite input. I know ow to sort this on a Sony TV, simply pres the AV button again so you get the AV channel number with a small S next to it. Look in your manual if you are using another make.
