PAL/NTSC Signal format problem

I have a GeForces 7300 GT that supports multi signal format, on TV out mode through S-Video. Trouble is, the display on the NTSC TV is still black and white.........
When I run the TV stup Wizard in the NVidia control panel, the tv is still coming up as PAL????
I'm running dual displays, at the moment untill I can configure the TV, but even in single display mode it still comes up as PAL???

Will I have to change the PC's regional settings before it works?
To travel at the speed of light, one must first become light.....

    Are you sure the tv will display NTSC signals?

    So let me get this right. You've a TV that is NTSC and your computer set the graphics card to PAL. Yep - that'll give you a B&W picture alright.

    It's worth trying the regional settings. The problem is with nVidias drivers. If you downloaded the UK version, try downloading and installing the US version instead.
