I did check out the video out and that is working like normal.  That
definitely sounds pretty unusual, I have the DX4/100 version as well.  I
don't there could be any way of getting the picture of whats on the LCD
screen in the video capture box of DVP without it being a hardware glitch.
You could try cycling between the external CRT and LCD and disabling
enhanced video and turning it back on, which might get something to click.
