Hey Guys,

This isn't an Adult Bouncer Related Question, but I thought maybe one of you could help me out with a problem that I'm having.
I want to watch Movies From my computer, but ON my TV!
I have a Video card that has TV out, and I've connected everything correctly.
When I look on my TV I can see my Desktop Perfectly and everything seems to be working, but when I play a movie in either Windows Media Player or DivX, the only thing I get is a dull Grey colored box where the movie should be playing. On my PC the movie IS playing and I can see it clearly, but on the TV it's just a dull grey box.
Any suggestions?
If it helps, on my PC, I also have this same problem when I try to do a screen capture of a movie that is playing. The picture in photoshop or paint shop pro just becomes a black box.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Guys,

try turning off your video acceleration in your video card properties

Hey Movie Guy,

Funny how such a small thing can have such big results!
Thanks again,
