[QUOTE="buddman, post: 516689, member: 83294"] Looks like this is a Windows 7 issue after all. What is happening is that when switching over to my cable box, Windows thinks the monitor has been disconnected, and as a result, resolution settings are let go. As soon as I switch back over, the resolution "changes" so to speak because Windows 7 sees the monitor again, and it goes back to the resolution I had it at. But this "change" (I can only best describe it as a screen flicker) is causing MP's resolution to change as well, and it confuses MP. As a result, MP is stuck at a smaller resolution and stays at that resolution even when 720p resolution is restored on the desktop. This is also causing video to stop playing if I leave a video playing when switching back and forth. So...I guess the question is now, how do I get Windows 7 not to do this and simply retain my desktop resolution? I've confirmed it isn't the ATI drivers, and I tried installing an ini file for a 1280x720 display at 60Hz (which is my resolution), but I still get this issue. Has anyone else with Windows 7 noticed this problem? You can test by having something like an IE window at full screen, switch over to another input if you have your PC connected to an A/V receiver, switch back, and you will see the IE window get cut in half. I tested this at a friends house as well on totally different TV, resolution, and A/V receiver. [/QUOTE]
