Hello,

I've built my own htpc based on Aopen XCube EZ18 (nforce2, gforce4 mx with tv-out integrated). It's connected via S-VHS cable to a Philips 16:9 TV, 100Hz.

Now I have some strange "vertical bars" on screen. Like "glowing shadows".

I've made some "screenshots".

here you can see to glowing parts next to the right and left vertical scroll bars (right side is stronger) (pic 1).

When I move the window so that the bar disappears, the shadows also are gone (pic 2+3)

Here the pics http://mf-the-one.netfirms.com/htpc/pics.htm

When I use a SVHS->composite or SVHS->SCART adapter I can only get b/w picture on TV. But the "shadows" are still there!

Also I can see some vertical lines in movies. They are still in the first third of the screen. When the movies makes some horizontal moves the lines are much visible.

So any suggestions about this problem? Is it a problem of the integrated graphic chip?

Thnx in advance,
Morpheus
