[Emo]

Hey.

I just hooked my PC to my TV the thing is i can see everything apart from the videos i play

Honestly i can play my games look at windows surf the net, but when i play any of my video files it only comes up on the PC but not the TV!!?

I am guessing there is a setting somewere any one had this problem know how to fix it please?

I will ask the usual questions as someone is bound to:

What type of GFX Card? (ATI or NVidia, etc)

What kind of Movies? (DivX, Xvid, etc.)

Have you updated your GFX drivers?

Did you try to turn down Video Hardware Acceleration? (try this)

Also, try playing it with Zoomplayer, it worked for me and I didn't have to turn down hardware acceleration.

Hope This helps

How? perhaps by turning on the tv before your pc?

With Radeons (my experience atleast) in order for videos to play, you have to set the TV as Primary display as well as the monitor. If its in clone mode, video won't display unless you set it to theater mode and mess with the options there.
