[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 722763, member: 91446"] New solution (to overcome "Old CRT monitor" not available) I have also had this problem (only installed win 7 this week for first time). I get the half screen problem whenever the folling flow of events occurs: 1. PC in standby with Amp and TV OFF 2. PC recovers from standby (with the Amp and TV still OFF) 3. Amp turned on (the PC screen resolution transiently changes from 1080 to 800x600 then back to 1080 duing the Amp power-on cycle - seen via VNC) 4. TV turns on and the MP half screen is problem is evident (sometimes with associated MP unhandled error). Airshark's solution (below) worked for me, but with some tweaks because some of his steps aren't available to me (for some reason - same reason as disaster123). This is where the above solution was a problem for me too (I am using the latest version of Catalyst). To get round it, I modified the procedure to the following: 1. Install RealVNC or TightVNC and establish a remote connection to your HTPC. 2. Remove your HDMI cable from your display. 3. Your resolution should now change to 800x600 (you might drop VNC connection, but if you do then it should re-connect). 4. Using VNC, right click on the desktop and select the Screen Resolution option (not in CCC), then configure the screen to the maximum available (1600x...). 5. Start your CCC (Catalyst Control Center). 6. Go to the resolution settings in CCC and the option to set higher than 1600x... should now be available. 7. Set the required resolution and then apply and close CCC (note, for some reason 1080i 30 hz was the max available refresh in this config, but since I don't care if it is 1080 interlaced or progressive, or what the refresh rate is (for this transient never-used case) I just select anything reasonable) 8. Reinsert the HDMI cable and test the system. Let me know if this works for you. Robbo100 P.S. I have no idea how I found this solution (since there is no technical sense to it), but I don't like to give up! [/QUOTE]
