When I connect my laptop to my tv so I can watch tv from the internet the display on my tv comes out black and white. It was working okay when I was on XP but since I moved to Vista it keeps displaying black and white. Anyone run into any issues like this?

Have you the latest compatible drivers for Vista and your Video Card? Or are you trying to make do with XP drivers?

I had the Vista driver on the video card but it still wasn't working, but listen to this. Last night I uninstalled the card and let the computer pick it up automatically and find the driver. Then I restarted and once I connected to my tv all was good. Full color and everything. I assume at this point I had either the wrong driver or an old driver.
