This article was previously published under Q131153 SYMPTOMS
When you are trying to retrieve the color palette using an ATI video card
and a video capture card, the colors on the screen appear incorrect or
scrambled.
CAUSE
The video capture card queries the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) on
the video card to retrieve the palette. Most VGA cards contain one DAC
while ATI cards contain two.
RESOLUTION
Add the following line to the [DISPLAY] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:
VGADAC=1
Note that this setting applies to all ATI cards and can affect other video
functionality.
