Getting Component Video from a PC
 

I just put together a HTPC with, among other things, a AIW ATI 9600 Pro. I also bought a vga-to-component cable from triangle cables.

The problem is that when I hook the cable up it won't work, no picture at all. I got the adapter because the AIW said it had component out, but now it looks like they want you to buy their proprietary adapter. It can be found here.

In the settings for the video card it has an option for component but it's grayed out and I can't select it. Does anyone have any experience with this, any ideas?

I really don't want to have to go and buy the ATI adapter since I already have this one. Any help would be appreciated.

If that's the case, you'll probably be stuck using ATI's adapter. It sucks that they don't show a pic on the site, it'd be interesting to see just what it looks like. It only costs $11 more, and you could just return the other one. That's my thought.

That's what I was afraid of. I was just hoping that someone knew of a program that could force component out :(

Are you sure the res you are running is supported by your TV? If not then that could cause it to be messed up.
