    I have a 8400 gs and was wondering what drivers and utility's would be best for watching movies on my widescreen tv. Currently i get black frames on all sides of the tv shrinking the screen in. Also is there a way to play full screen movies on the tv while running the video player minimized on my computer. I was able to do this with my ati card, but I cannot find a similar utility for nvidia cards. Thanks
