PC to TV problem

This is a bit of an odd one but here goes,

I have put together a little media center pc and had it all working via VIVO to S-Video converter then S-Video to Scart lead on an old Goodmans TV.
It was displaying fine and in colour without a problem but then the TV died (nothing to do with the setup) so i had to get a new TV.

Managed to get one free of charge from a mate and ended up with a nice, free Samsung.....Only problem is i only get the windows desktop in black and white! When XP Pro is loading the logo is in colour and all appears fine but just before it boots to the "Welcome" screen its flickers and then goes black and white.

Have tried to mess with the card settings with no joy! Anyone have any words of wisdom to hand me? Really desperate to get this little project up and running so any help would be apreciated, and figured that this is the place to start asking.

The relevent details of the shuttle are:

AGP Nvidia 6600GT 128mb with DVI VGA and VIVO
(not sure on the driver version)

Windows XP Pro SP2

Hope you guys can help,

Will have a check later but the PC audio is connected via a Jack to the Scart, It is a preformed cable.

Thanks a lot though guys, Its given me enough to go on and hopefully get the problem sorted.

Cheers,
