Then the problem is with the RGB port of your A1200. Please could you try using the RF or Composite output?

I've tryed them both they are both distorted (the screw in the RF is pushed right in)

I guess you might already know this, but it might be an idea to check what your preferences are set to, in case its somehow defaulted to two colours by some means.

Its on 256

This probably wont make much difference, but it might be an idea to just try taking the RF setting on the A1200 to half way, some things can do weird stuff when their at one limit or another...

When you say that the A1200 composite/RF output is "Distorted" is there any colour in the image (Approximatly in the right places?)

Gwion, the composite output shouldn't be affected by the screw being pushed in, as that is only for the RF UHF modulator.

I guess you are telling us that you can see a picture from the RF output but that it is distorted and in black and white, and the same when you try the composite output ?

Just in case this is some odd driver problem, have you confirmed that it does the same when booting from a floppy disk game ? I aasume you normally boot from a hard disk ? Please clarify  :-)
