I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite something-or-other from 2006 and I have hooked a cable from the composite tv out on the laptop to the video input on my TV. I can see the Windows XP GUI on my tv and when I launch RealPlayer with a dvd, I can see the Realplayer GUI on the TV but the box where the video is supposed to be is instead black. Is there anyway to resolve this? Yes the video drivers have been updated from Toshiba and the Realplayer is current. Can anyone shed light on this difficulty? Thanks.
