S-video scart laptop to tv

I recently purchased a s-video cable for my gateway laptop with windows vista.
Yhe guy in the shop told me when I plug it in, go to the desktop and hold in
"Fn" and press F4. When I did this it came onto my tv, but in black in
white...
2 questions:

1) "Fn" and F4 function is not recognizing anymore, nothing happens...please
help.

2) how to i change ntsc to pal settings on vista to change the tv from black
& white to colour?

Many many thanks for all replies and comments!

Hi, I had the same problem as you recently. I have an Mobility radeon x1300
and the only solution that I found it's to put my video card parameters by
default.
