hi
im not sure of this is posted in the right forum, but here goes any way:

recently I bought a cable that connects to my graphics card digital video out - and converts to scart, therefore, 20 m down the line i have a widescreen tv connected. i can send my the image on my pc screen down this cable, and on the tv is displayed everyhting i do ! marvelous i think - now i can watch div x films and other films stored on my hard drive on my tv, the only problem is that on loading any sort of media player on the tv is only shown a blank black box?!?!? its fine on my pc monitor, but sending it down the cable seesm to have no effect? everything else is viewed perfectly, except for a blank box where the film should be!!!? the freaky thing is, if i exit and reload the media i was trying to play, about 1 in 50 times it actually comes up on the tv screen - and then we can sit back to watch the film! nice - but why do i have this hassel every time - it doesnt semm at all logical for a computer to do this!! any suggestions anyone?
