    Ok.. so I've had my tuner installed for a while, but I hadn't really used it much since then. I want to use it now to hook my PS2 via composite cables and use my screen as a display. It seems to be working... somewhat. I have audio and video... and found that i don't have to use the crappy standard MVP software (I found that Media Player Classic gives me the same audio/video-in features w/o the crappy interface... note that this is for S-video/Composite).

    My problem is that the video is output in black and white only. Now, this isn't due to the software I'm using, (ie: not the fault of MPC) because the MVP software displays the video connection in Black and White as well.

    I'm hoping to not have to tweak and play with the card, opening and closing the laptop, just to get the picture right. I'd like to know if anyone else has any insight and a more definitive solution or if the TV tuner card just doesn't display S-video/composite in color (I'm hoping this isn't the case).

    Thanks in advance.
