No color to TV

All of a sudden I'm getting black and white out of
the S-video output. At least I think it's coming from
the card. Any ideas?

Thanks : -)

It's because you spelled colour wrong.

Maybe your cable connection is loose at either end.
S-Video sends mono+sync on one wire with colour on
another wire.

True. Another possibility is that your TV is expecting a composite video
signal, but you are sending s-video. This is a common problem in the EU
where TV's have SCART sockets that support multiple signal types and the TV
needs to be "told" what sort of signal you are using.

In addition to what's been suggested, try turning off the TV and the
computer, making sure the cable is tight, turning the TV back on, and tne
the computer. If the drivers load with a loose cable sometimes they get
confused about what they're talking to, with the result that you see.

That should have been "and then"

the computer. If the drivers load with a loose cable sometimes they get

Have you got your NTSC or PAL output set up correctly on the computer?

It boots in color and goes to the Windows screen in color
and then changes to B&W, while loading drivers, I think.

It was working fine until I changed monitors and loaded a
new version of the drivers. And it boots in color and then
changes to B&W. I'm hoping it's a setting and I don't have
to go back to older drivers, but that's my next step, if they
are available.
