No movie's on TV with 9700 Pro

[PattiMan]

I can look at my desktop on the TV, but if I start a movie (for example in
Media Player), no movie is shown. The screen, which should contain the
movie, stays black.
I've installed the latest Hercules drivers and Control Panel.

Can anybody help? Thanks !!

Use your overlay controls and set it to your Secondary Monitor. I believe
this is Theater Mode on the ATI cards. If you are trying to put a DVD onto
the tv, Macrovision may be preventing you from displaying it at all. In
that case, you will want a program called AnyDVD by Slysoft. Decodes DVD
from any Region to Region 0 on the fly. All software and hardware thinks it
is a Region free dvd including any kind of Macrovision protection that may
be present on the video card in hardware or software.
