Cooky TV Output Stuff

I use my TV as a second monitor, its connected via component cable to my GeForce 6600GT. It’s been doing some weird stuff when full screen apps take over the TV display. When one of these apps exists the TV display looks torn at the top, like the resolution or refresh rate isn’t quite right. Nothing I have done seems to fix the problem.

Full screen video always works fine and always fills the televisions entire screen, these apps don’t seam to be the problem. Quitting from Media Center will cause the tearing as will any full screen game. To restore the screen the simplest thing to do is run the ‘TV Wizard’.

I can’t seem to phrase a search for this issue in less than 6 words. If you know where I should post a bug or can get help post a comment.
