Out TV, a strange effect... no film on the screen, why?

I purchased a video card Asus V9520Magic that has an out TV.
When I look at a film using Windows Media Player or other players, the
result on the monitor (VGA) is correct, whereas on the TV... I can see
everything, except the film. The WinMedia Player's screen remains "black".
Why?
Does anyone know the reason of this effect, or anyone has some suggestions?
The drivers are update at the last release... The OS is Win XP...
Thank you!

Robin

Try a search in Google on "Windows Media Player" (with the quotes)
plus the word 'overlay'.

A post in Hungarian mentions there is a preference like this...
Tools->Options->Performance->Advanced->Use video mixing render->Use overlays

"Try disabling the video overlay. Video can be handled using
it's own frmae buffer called the video overlay. This may not
be overlaying the second cloned output, only the primary."

There may be a performance hit doing this.

HTH,
