Ello, hope u can help! I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with a high resolution monitor and have recently bought an S-V cable so I can play DVD's from my laptop, to my TV (Panasonic 28").
Now, The contents of the screen on the latop WILL display on the TV, but the window which is displayed on the TV is always blank, even though it is playing in the window on my laptop.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Cheers

If you're using Windows Media Player you need to turn down the hardware acceleration in the options...
