[QUOTE="Stainless, post: 138928, member: 48701"] Hi, Long time reader, first time poster. I just finished building my HTPC. I'm using an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard with a built-in GeForce 6150 video adapter that has VGA, HDMI, component, S-Video and composite out. I'm using MP 0.2.2.0 and Windows XP SP2. GeForce driver version is 8.2.0.5 (it's the most recent version). I'm currently using the component out to run into my Philips 4:3 CRT TV. When the computer boots, everything looks normal... the BIOS screen is in proper colors, the "loading Windows" screen is in proper colors, but when the boot process reaches the Windows desktop, the display is very, very blue. The image is sharp, it's just... blue. I've tried changing any display settings I can find.
