Alright so I have a laptop, running Windows XP Pro SP2, nVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 128MBs video card with dual monitor support, 1GB of RAM, Intel Centrino dual core, yatta yatta yatta. I plugged in my big (don't know how big, something around 40") widescreen TV to my laptop via an S-Video cable and I set up the TV to work as a second desktop. I have it on 1024x768 res (my laptop is on 1680x1050 res) and everything is fine and dandy.

As you can imagine, I mainly hooked up my laptop to this TV to watch movies and such. Whenever I play a video that is wide-screen and I put my video player (MPC in this case) in fullscreen, everything is fine. BUT! Whenever I play a video that's full-screen and I put MPC on fullscreen mode, I lose some of the image. Any idea why? I thought it was because my TV is widescreen but I don't think that's it. See my TV has this mode called "Narrow" that puts two vertical bars in the sides of the screen to make it 4:3. And even in that mode I still lose part of the picture of full-screen videos when I put them on fullscreen view.

Any ideas? If you need more info or need me to explain something again, please let me know.
