[QUOTE="heikoh, post: 201028, member: 56033"] Thanks for your reply. But shouldn't there be a way to "hack" the overlay setting of svideo output of today's graphics card? I tried several "tools", but none of them helped. I have a Geforce 8400GS (figured that would be enough for a SD MediaCenter). In a much older machine, however, I have a AGP Geforece 7600GT running in "Clone-Mode": If there is no Video playback, I can see my Windows Desktop withouth any black borders. How is that possible? And why is it not possible with newer drivers? Might switching to ATI be a solution? Heiko Hi, you replied just the second I did :-) I tried PowerStrip, but that didn't work for me. Maybe it doesn't work when only 1 TV-Screen is connected to S-Video-Out as the primary display. Maybe my Geforce 8400GS is the problem, as I've seen on the PowerStrip page that that card doesn't support custom resolutions yet :-((( Heiko [/QUOTE]
