TV will not play video through s video out

[Luke]

Hey folks, I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with a Radeon X300 series video
card. So I have hooked my new LCD TV to my computer through the s video
output and after some troubleshooting was able to clone it to my monitor.
Now I can see everything as far as my desktop and all of my Windows apps.
Just like everything I see on my monitor.
The problem is when I try to view video on WMV I can see it on my
monitor but all I see is the Media Players skin on my TV and a void in the
middle where the video should be even in fullscreen mode, which is weird
because all of my other graphics applications work like my visualizations for
WMV and MMJB. I even tried to set the TV as my primary display and I still
can't view video (I wont do that again, I almost lost 20 pounds running from
one room to the other to reset it.) I tried it on Real Player as well and it
is exactly the same problem.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Luke
