Can't view movies in full screen on wide screen laptop

Hi Guys,

Specs:
Satellite Wide Screen Laptop (approx 5 months old)
Model: L355D-S7815
ATI Radeon V. 8.479 32/64bit

Problem:
When viewing movies or other video clips in wide screen format the entire screen splits diagonally with a visable line from lower left corner of screen to upper right corner of screen and the top left corner of the screen is off white in color and the lower right half screen is black. It refuses to use full screen mode for videos.

You can still use the mouse and see where it changes for where the control buttons are and use esc to get out of full screen mode. Just can not visually see anything other than the diagonal thing I wrote about.

What we have done: uninstalled video drivers and installed new drivers to current new driver just release 10-08-08.

Its still displaying this behavior. What other things can we try?

TIA

Karin
