Direct Draw WMP and DivX use Direct Draw technology. The portion of your screen that's being blacked out when you see it on your TV screen is bypassing the normal Windows rendering (this is necessary for performance reasons) and operating directly on the display drivers for your screen, at its native resolution. When you use the video out jack on your laptop, some downconverting is done to reduced the resolution to something your TV can display, which is effectively limited to 480i, or 640x480 resolution.

Try running your media players in full screen mode. You may also need to change the screen resolution to 640x480x256 colors (VGA resolution) in order to see the movie. Sources: Experience .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
