Abu do you have a 12 year old neighbor near by? Give him or her a crack at trying it for you. You sound stumped sleep on it . Your trying to hard

STFU! i strongly dislike distributing drugs to anyone of any age. DON'T BE TALKING BOUT DRUGS IN FRONT OF MY FACE FOO! ok, i'm cool. but no drugs. and the cable works for my gfx 5200 perfectly. i'm guessing the gfx cable doesn't work on the ati card. cuz the adapter cable i have came with my gfx. maybe it only works for gfx's and not ati's. i'll call radio shack some time

I don't think it would be the Rca to s-video adapter's problem. If it works for the Fx5200 then that proves it works, if it doesn't work for the ati then that means its more than likely the ati's problem. I'd return that ati again and pay enought to get a one notch better card. Then try that.

Also, radioshack is a rip off, they charged by $20 for an rca to s-video adapter, and I found it on Ebay for $4 including shipping

well, i already exchanged the ati for another one. and same problem. i'm guessing the adapter might not be compatible with the ati card, knowing that it came with the gfx. i'm calling ati sometime soon to figure this out. in the mean time, if anyone here has any other solutions, i'm all ears

[abu_has_the_power]

How about this one? On sale at $12.95 if you don't mind just getting the jack? That means you'll have to have an S-video cable and an RCA cable to attach to either end of the jack. Otherwise you're looking at a little more cash.

edit: or this one for $10 - looks like a better buy.

does this one look reliable?

it's cheap

Yeah, looks good. Shipping is $5 though, but if the price remains cheap I'd say get it.
