When I hook up my laptop, Toshiba Satellite 2435-S255 (GeForce4 420 Go
video card), to a TV everything but the video shows up on the TV. I
have it hooked up through the S-Video output of my laptop.
 
Are you using just the TV or cloning on both screens? Because some video
cards cannot display videos, etc. on two screens.

One solution is to make it exclusively on the TV screen.

Or, if the TV screen isn't clear enough for seeing everything else, you can
make the desktop span so the screens are side-by-side and you can drag the
video window onto the screen that you want it on.
 
I fixed it by turning down the video acceleration in the advanced
section of the display properties. I think this is occuring because of
different codecs I have loaded on the machine.
