Default 5700VE: Shades of Pink and Green on my TV

Several months ago I purchased a 5700VE card and installed the
then-current drivers (I believe two versions prior to the current
set). It worked well for everything I used it for. When I updated to
the next version, the color on my monitor was, well, all messed up.
The release notes acknowledged the problem and attributed it to a
problem with the gamma setting. The workaround didn't work for me, so
I reverted back to the previous drivers. When the now-current set of
drivers was released, I installed them and the problem was corrected.
However, another problem appeared. (It may have been there with the
previous set of drivers.) When I play a video using the s-video output
and my HDTV as the secondary display, the picture is fine on my
monitor but on the TV it is all pink and green. Further, this problem
occurs only with Windows Media Player and Real Player. If I use
PowerDVD as my player, everything works fine. This wouldn't bother me
except that many streaming video clips from the Internet use WMP or RP
and so I can't watch them on my TV. I have seen nothing from nVidia
regarding this problem.
