TV-output video problem

Got a TV connected to my PC via S-video, and while .avi files played with BS Player display perfectly, both DVDs and files played with Real Player don't display properly: realvideo files are shown blown-up so that only part of it is displayed on my tv (even though the files are encoded at 320x240), and DVD video is shown at the right resolution but skewed to the left, so that one-third of my tv screen is blank and one-third of the video frame is off the left edge of the screen. I tried using VLC player, PowerDVD and Nero Showtime for DVD playback, all with the same results.

I'm using a 6800 with the 84.20 XTG drivers. I've got nview set to clone. I've experimented with DualView as well but couldn't get it to work properly as I had to manually move the player window to the tv by dragging off my desktop, which annoyed me no end so I quit. Is there an easier way?
 
Bumped cause it slipped off the page...

I tried to update to the altest Forceware to see if it would fix it and, instead, it now displays NO video on the tv at all - just a black window, although it still displays normally on my TFT.
