Problems hooking computer to TV
Last night I tried to hook my computer to my TV so I could watch some movies but I was having some problems.

I am using an S-Video cable to hook my ATI All-in-Wonder (series 9600) to my TV. I rebooted the computer after hooking the cable up and the load screen appeared on the television. All good. However, once the blue windows welcome screen pops up the TV goes black while my computer continues to boot up.

I have all the new drivers and I also tried lowering the resolution to 800x600 (the lowest it will go). I'm really at a loss as to what step I should take next. Help!

I'm a pretty big newbie, so be patient with me. =P
