yeah, the drivers were the frist things tried
i uninstalled and deleted the drivers and use like generic something or other ( 800x max resolution ) still the same negative look on the screen (s-video out doesn't work at all of course) so i got the neweset drivers for my card off the nvidia site and everything worked like all the s-video and shit, but screen still looks like a negative. i then tried the origial drivers off the driver recovery cd, same effect as new driver.
however i now have Ubuntu linux installed in a daul boot manner, and screen looks NORMAL in linux (but does not support my s-video out)

fucking microsoft
