Hi there,
I have a quite strange problem with playing DVD´s or Videos on a TV or beamer:

The "normal" picture", the desktop itself appears on the TV or on the beamer; every programme works well and is visible - as long as it is "still picture", like ACDsee, Word, Powerpoint etc.
The Moment I start a DVD or a video (also in PowerPoint), the place where the picture of the movie should be, appears black.
The rest of the screen shows the original desktop, like powerPoint etc.
I changed the resolution to 800*600, also to 600*480.

Has anybody any ideas???

Thanks,

Did you try out the solutions on VAIO-Link?

I spoke with the guy on the hotline, he recommended me to read the manual, contact the forum...

To the link:
I upgraded the newest version of the driver...

still: No (moving) pictures...

Sorry - but thats rather rude of them to tell you to read the manual or come here, wow, how to not do one's job. I would complain.

Well, apart from settting the TV as the primary display, making sure your graphics card drivers are as new as possible and checking your DirectX is up to date I can't think of anything else...
