Problem veiwing movies on my TV

[kristin7522]

I have my laptop connected to my TV using an s-video cable and everything appears to work fine. When I try to watch a movie I downloaded it will show on my laptop but a black screen will show up on my TV. I have tried several different media players right now Im just sticking with Windows Media Player 10. I found no other information anywhere else. Im conused because everything other than downloaded videos will show and I have had this working before but with an older laptop and different OS right now Im using Windows XP Pro. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help. I figured it out. For some reason I cant veiw movies in multiple screens with Windows XP, So I set my TV to a primary output and it works pretty good except for the audio hum I might just start burning.
