[QUOTE="steven506, post: 102107, member: 28733"] Maybe I didn't explain the situation clear enough... Whenever I boot up the computer into Windows, the full width of the TV is taken up by the desktop; however, at the top and bottom there is about 1/2" each of space not taken up (these areas are black). When I then go into Media Center it takes up the full screen (both height and width). I am using 800x600 resolution and the latest nVidia drivers. Within the nVidia control panel you can change the position of the screen as well as the size. Unfortunately, when you adjust the size it adjusts both the height and width at the same time...you cannot change the height (which is what I need to do) without affecting the width. I can increase the size so that the entire TV screen is consumed; however, that makes the left and right edges of the OS desktop go beyond the left and right edges of the viewable TV screen. Whenever you boot your HTPC into the OS, does it take up the full screen? I guess I shouldn't worry about it since when I launch MCE it takes up the full screen. [/QUOTE]
