Can't See DVD Picture On TV

[Dick]

Running Windows XP Home. HP Pavilion laptop with ATI 9200 video.
S-Video direct from laptop to Sony receiver. TV sees Windows desktop,
etc., so the S-Video connection is OK, but the picture from the DVD is
black. Audio is coming through OK. This is with any DVD, including
home movies. Is it possible that the DVD+R format somehow can't be
read by the TV? This has been driving me crazy.

Thanks, but it's not an S-Video problem as far as I can tell. I see
on the TV everything I see on the laptop screen, it's just that the
video screen in the software shows black. It's playing on the laptop
OK.

If your video is playing on your laptop and not the
external monitor, you may just have to change your
primary monitor settings. Very easy to do:
