Re: Graphics card TV out problem

It's always been fine, until now.

For some reason, if I try & play a video using WMP, with the card's TV out enabled, the video does not display on the TV - yet I *can* see WMP itself on the TV, & anything else that's also displayed on the monitor. But the space in WMP for the video itself is just black (on the TV).


The only thing I can think of that has been changed is the ATI drivers - I recently upgraded from the 4.11 Catalyst drivers to 4.12


Before I go messing around uninstalling & reinstalling drivers (& that's only if I still have the 4.11 Cats somewhere ), doesanyone have any ideas? Could it be something else? Is there a setting somewhere? Or is it likely to be the drivers?
Try fiddling with the overlays in the display driver control panel app. Also, if you haven't already, upgrade to WMP 10.
