Single Frames Displays on External Monitor

I have been searching online for the past three hours, trying to find a solution to this. There is even a thread on these forums about a similar problem. However, I have done everything suggested in that thread, and others I have found on other help forums, and nothing seems to work. I am at my wit's end.
The problem: When I attempt to play my sequence in my timeline, while connected to an external monitor, then audio plays, but only a single frame shows on the monitor. It updates to the most current frame whenever playback stops, but it only shows a static image. Meanwhile, the canvas window in Final Cut Pro displays nothing.
Statistics:
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Final Cut Pro 6.0.3
NTSC
Things I Have Tried:
I have selected "All Frames" under View > External Video.
I have Refreshed A/V Devices.
I have made certain that the Canvas display size is small. Currently, it is at 50%, and I have also tried setting it to Fit To Window.
I have gone to Easy Setup, and selected NTSC, DV-NTSC.
I have checked "Mirror On Desktop" under Audio/Video Settings > A/V Devices > Playback Devices.
I have also tried unchecking "Mirror on Desktop."
I have set Video Playback to Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480).
I have set the Sequence Preset to DV NTSC 48 Khz.
I have set the Device Control Preset to Firewire NTSC.
I have exited Final Cut Pro, made sure the deck was on first, then turned on Final Cut Pro.
I have restarted the computer.
Further Notes: I've noticed that the problem might have something to do with how sequences are displayed. If I double-click on one of my video files in the Final Cut Browser, and open it in the Viewer window, it plays fine, even displays fine in the external monitor (my deck). Furthermore, if I open different Final Cut Projects that worked fine previously, they now have the same issue. So I would assume it is not a problem with the sequence in this current project I am working on.
Any help you could give would be appreciated more than I can express.
