    Exclamation VGA out on Radeon 8500 reading as YPrPb only

    Basically here's my problem, I have a customer that has a 8500 ATI radeon and a futura monitor. When I updated them to the most current drivers there screen went green. Checked the display properties and it shows it goin to a HDTV via the YPrPb connectors. I can put them on the DVI output using a DVI to VGA adaptor and the screen looks fine, except when it's accessing the hard drive then they get horizontal lines across the screen. I did everything this article said on ATI's website and I still get the lines. Here's another link that talks about an adaptor for the VGA to DVI but I am just using the standard VGA plug off the monitor.ATI's VGA 2 HDTV ADAPTOR
    Well here's the system info file from windows and some pics of the card below.
    Basically all I want is to either get rid of the lines or get the VGA port working again. They currently are on the Catalyst 3.10, haven't put the 4.1 on there yet, though the only drivers I could get to work w/ the VGA were the 2.* series. I would switch back but he wants to play COD and BF 1942.
