    Hi, I have a P4 3.3Ghz with a Radeon 9800. I attached an S-video cable to my Sony flatscreen tv and got my display to show on the tv but the really wierd thing is that when I try to play movies, all it shows is a black screen. I mean, on my computer it'll be showing just fine but on the tv there's nothing but black within the borders of the media player. Any help would be appreciated.

    go to your video card configuration and look for the TV out option. This option must be turned on.

    yup, the tv out option is on...let me clarify, everything on my computer is displayed on the tv except for where the movie should be. So for instance, I can see on the tv the desktop, the taskbar etc...the media player is shown but the movie within is just black.

    My problem is just like this guy's: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/87022
