MP1 MP2 s-video to SCART DE
Thanks or your reply.... nothing wrong with your English! I have seen something similar on the WEB what you describe... maybe I will go down that road, although I don't really like to have to take voltage from the PC - I guess I could take a 9V battery (I believe 9volt is the minimum it requires to switch to 4:3) but then again...

thanks for the tip, but I think I have got it all sorted now. I was running Vista for about 4 hours before rolling back - (too slow based on my 1GB RAM.)
