I'm trying to coect my Sony VAIO GRX (WIN XP Proffessional) to a Thomson TV . I am using a standard S-Video cable. I can connect either directly to the S-Video socket on the front, or via a SCART adapter to the Scart socket. In either case, I can see the laptop's desktop on the TV screen except for the WinDVD window that is playing a DVD - the window is just black on the TV screen while its OK on the laptop. If I change the app to be full screen, the whole TV screen in black ! Any body any ideas??
 
Refer to your user's guide about selecting your display mode, and also about hooking up a TV correctly. If you do not have it, you can download one from sony's support website good luck.
