Video playback on TV problem

[Dusty]

I have my TV connected to my computer through my S-Video
connection. I can see the monitor image fine until I play
a movie. When I do this it show a black screen but still
plays the audio. I did instal service pack 2 recently.
Could that be a problem? or what is it?

you need to set the tv to be the primary monitor as video overlay is not
supported on dual monitors on cheaper cards.
