Installed Cat3.0a, now tvout doesnt work propely. help

[BoomAM]

Hi,
ive just updated my cat drivers from 2.4 to 3.0a. now for some reason, when i play a dvd, and have the tvout on, the screen goes wierd(on the tv).
Normal Windows Use is ok though. Its just when i play DVDs.

Any Ideas for a fix?

running
cat3.0a
DX9
WinXP Home SP1

Did you also install the new ATI Control Panel?

 

[BoomAM]

Yes.
Ive tryed again, and it still doesnt work propely. I now shows the power dvd control thing, when its up, and refuses to show the actual background(ie, the video itself)

i had something similar to this on my bro's 8500le card...it would display the interface, but not the window. i played w/ the refresh rates/modes on the displays control panel and it worked...i think the 8500le wasnt capable of running 2 separate refresh rates so the desktop refresh had to be switched to 60hz. i'm getting longer svideo cables today so i can try that out on my R9500 Pro later on tonite.

Ive tryed that a minute. Same problem though.
I tryed every refresh rate, for the monitor, available. 60hz & 70hz.
I have a TFT before you suggest that i havnt installed the monitor drivers
