I have a Dell D600 Latitude laptop and am trying to watch a Div-X movie on my TV. I have used a brand new S-Video to Scart lead.
After having done all the settings required using the laptop Display settings, I get good sound quality when I play and also get picture - but picture remains black and white on the TV. However on the laptop, I can see it in colour. I have tried unplugging the scart lead and also restarting the laptopn and the TV.
Can anyone help please?

It sounds to me as though your TV is only receiving the "Y" signal from S-video connection of your laptop. Did you look at the end of the cable? Perhaps one or two pins got bent somehow? It could also be a problem with the cable itself.
I have hooked a D600 to a TV (using S-video) without problems.
Good for you, Yog-Sothoth. I have checked the pins - they look alright. Maybe i have to get another cable as you say - but I am surprised if that would be the case. ITs a brand new cable I bought just a day or so back.
I'm not quite sure if there is some sarcasm to that response or not.
